Funny sensation on throat and skipping heartbeat

I am male 29.
I’ve been experience unexplained sensation on my throat when im lying down to go to sleep at night. When im checking my pulse when it happen, im noticing that my heartbeat will skip a beat whenever the sensation came. I even asked my wife to check my pulse to confirm my worried and she also said that my heartbeat did skip a beat. This sensation usually only came at night. Its been 4 months since i last felt this sensation and last night it came again. Should i’d be worried about this?
