Palpitations or heart stopping after squats

In the last month or so I have noticed that my heart will skip beats and I get light headed. I took my pulse and it pauses after doing squats. My heart rate is increased but the sensation of the heart stopping or skipping a beat is new to me. Just wondering if this is normal for some people? Thanks!

Palpitations are common and are not always indicative of a problem.

However, we can’t tell you exactly what is going on here just based on your reported symptoms. If you are concerned, the next step would involve some form of heart rhythm monitoring to see what’s actually happening during these episodes.
