Brief Answer:
A certain level of irregularity is acceptable.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HelathcareMagic.

I have gone very carefully through your query. I understand that your heart rate is irregular (probably irregularly irregular). A certain level of irregularity is quite normal and can occur in normal individuals. A single ECG is unlikely to capture it. However, if apprehensive, you can get a 24 hours Holter monitoring done and can visit a cardiologist thereafter and get the report assessed.

Let me know if I could help further.
