Anyone else have skipped heartbeats/irregular/fluttering heartbeats while exercising intensely?

This happens to me pretty often and my doctor said it was normal if you're out of shape, but I don't really consider myself out of shape anymore and it keeps happening, today on the tread-climber I was at a really high heart rate and my heart "tha-THUMP-thumped" and made me gasp. I don't like that! Makes me not want to work out hard.
Is this a pretty normal thing or what???!

    I get them sometimes, but not because I am "out of shape." I get them mainly due to stress. Caffeine can cause them too sometimes. As long as everything else feels good then you should be alright. If you have any trouble breathing, pain in your chest, etc then see a dr immediately. But from what I know they are fairly common.
