What exactly do you mean that they could not explain it?

Do you mean that:
1) They thought the machine was acting funny? Sometimes those machines can go a little erratic or pick up the wrong rate. If so, they should have switched to another machine to get better results.

Or

2) It was a health issue they have never seen before? If so, they should have referred you to a cardiologist.

Were you referred to a cardiologist?

If they just let you go home without any diagnosis or explanation, I would want to see a specialist.
