My wife has this. Sometimes I'll have my head on her chest and I'll hear her heart just stop for two or three seconds. Scared the hell out of me at first, but she doesn't worry. She's been that way all her life, has been diagnosed by doctors, and knows that in her case it's nothing to worry about.
But... and my wife is sitting right next to me, telling me this... _do_ tell your doctor, and see her again if she requests that you do so. The evaluation she made of your condition is based a summary of all the information she had on you. But without knowledge of your irregular heartbeat, her conclusions may be wrong or incomplete.
