Does anybody hav missed beats ? It's lik your heart is beating then a pause then back to beating I notice since I have been obsessing they are getting worse.. especially when I think about something bad . I've been having them since 2011 .. but never this bad... I've been having them for 2 weeks . All day

It could be PVCs. I recommend going to a doctor that is knowledgeable and will likely have you wear a heart monitor that will read your heart beat over a certain period of time and record the information for your doctor to look at. Caffeine and some other things can irritate PVCs too.  Also, finger heart rate/oxygen monitors are available at the store or online, and you can get a journal or paper and write down when you feel these skipped beats, see if your heart rate is normal, and make a note of your activity and the date and time.  This will be very helpful to track for you and for your doctor.

This is the key which shows it is all in your head from worry. " I notice since I have been obsessing they are getting worse.."
The echo proves there was nothing wrong. So you are likely just thinking you are skipping, but without a monitor all day long to verify the count you didn't prove it is really happening. Try to forget it instead of over-analyzing your heart and it will disappear.
I never check my heart rate  because I know that it knows how to do its job by itself. It is not normal to check your heart so if you can't stop after making a conscious effort, then try therapy to see if they can rid you of this obsession.

I think I just commented on your question similar to this somewhere else, but no, you are not alone in this. I have an otherwise healthy and normal heart, but I will get skipped beats (PVCs in my case) with my anxiety, with stress, hormonal changes and sometimes just a few out of nowhere. I've had them for 12 years (as far as I know) and I learned to live with them for a while. Let me assure you of this, when you focus on them and get anxious over them, they will intensify. No doubt about it. It's a hard cycle to break but you will.

It's always hard when we have become anxious about something to really get a good picture of it.  You are hyper focused on your heart beat--  there is a really good chance it is not doing what you think it is doing.  Some people have palpitations and anxiety can cause this.  Because we can't really get a full picture just from a verbal description here and you have ongoing anxiety which means you may be overanalyzing normal things---  the really best thing to do is to have a well check physical and tell the doctor about this.  They can provide further testing to rule out any heart issues---  and then once that is done, you can begin working on your anxiety.  In the mean time, what about a go to activity when you get hyper focused?  Like taking out a book and reading, turning on the radio, etc.---  something you do to change your thought process and actions at that moment to get you thinking about something else.  good luck
