Depends: It depends on what you mean by irregular - to be honest many ekg findings are benign and mean nothing. Patients get worried about some things and unless the doctor explains the patient remains concerned. You should ask your doctor what is irregular.

Yes: There are patterns on the ekg related to lung diseases, usually COPD but sometimes asthma. They are generally harmless, most likely that is why the doctors have not been concerned.
