What is it called when you have a hole in your heart and is it some type of disease? Is it genetic? Are there any solutions to this problem?

In a way, yes. Your heartbeat can be irregular, faster and slower, or the beats can be very wild and irregular--that feels as if it ''skips''. The hole in the heart thing is called a septal defect. The solutions to the issue are to surgically correct the defect, use medications, or catheters. It depends on the actual place it is and the severity of the defect.

Your heart can skip a beat, it is called a PVC (premature ventricular contraction). A hole in your heart typically closes before or right after birth. If you are older, chances are you may need surgery to close it.. l believe it was called a patent ductus arteriosis. Check with an MD if you think you are having problems. Good luck!

yes -this is called a ''premature ventricular contraction (PVC)'' and it happens to all of us. if you are concerned, quit drinking caffeine and see your doctor.

Yes. A skipped beat is sometimes called a ''preliminary ventricular contraction'' & most r harmless; everyone gets them. If u feel lots of them (episodes of 10 or more in a minute), u need to see a cardiologist. Get an EKG & have them put a ''Holter Monitor'' on u for a day or two.
A hole in ur heart is a defect that can be fixed nowadays by laproscopic surgery.
Some heart problems r genetic & some aren't. l had an infection that invaded my heart & now l need a transplant. l am still alive, happy, & healthy (surfing & bicycling).
If ur heart skips & it scares you, go see ur doctor. NOW.
