sir,    I am 69 years old and my weight is 101 K.G. I exercise regularly and I take a tablet in the morning for blood pressure. On checking my blood pressure my doctor tells me that sometimes i have missing pulse, I feel normal & healthy, please advise me that is it normal or I should go in for further investigation.

First I am not sure if that is occasional skipped beats or the doctor didn't find the pulse sometimes. The latter is his problem not yours. Everyone has the occasional skipped beat. BUT an EKG with a 2-minute rhythm strip can show if the as a problem in the majority of cases.
