I've noticed my grandma's pulse tends to skip beats every now and then. She's in her eighties and seems pretty frail. Should I be worried about this?

Skipped pulses can be concerning, especially in older adults. It is important to have your grandma evaluated by a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, she may benefit from taking a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) daily to help prevent blood clots and improve blood flow. Additionally, she should ensure proper hydration and electrolyte balance.
