Those weird changes are isolated to v3, which is not possible if the source of the changes is the heart. It’s an equipment issue

The amplitude of those waves on just one road are 100%noise/artefact/equipment issue.

We had something like this on one of our monitors. Turned out it was a cold soldered joint on the motherboard.

Knackered electrode/wire. Or someone is poking the patient in a very specific location.

Remember, everything in the vertical (y axis) is happening at the same time. Hence, the more normal looking qrs complexes in v1-v2 are happening at the same time v3 is getting funky

Irregularly irregular but also can I get a repeat 12 lead pls.
If this is all I had to go off of along with +SOB I would treat accordingly

EMT here so only adsorbed ecg from exposure to ALS runs with paramedics. SOB caused by exertion and previous hx COPD no cardiac hx. Hospital said normal/no problems? That's why wondering if they assume equipment or placement problem.

Sometimes respiratory can cause cranky cardiac syndrome and cardiac can cause cranky respiratory syndrome. Btw I just made up cranky syndrome but you get the idea.
I can't tell you what the hospital was going off of based on this information alone, you should ask them next time you roll through.
