Yes.
It all depends what is the cause of your irregular heartbeat. Generally, if you go to a cardiologist and the doctor is able to determine what is the cause of your irregular heart beat and is able to correct the problem (if it needs correcting), then your lifespan should be normal.
You can live a normal life with an irregular heart beat depending on what it is. You need to get a complete exam to determine the origin and cause of the rhythm. Most are benign and cause no problems, but a few can cause serious problems. Get a complete physical with lab work.
