Suspicious ECG

Question

Suspicious ECG

Asked for Male, 32 Years

I went to a free medical checkup camp where they performed an ECG test on me. The doctor told me that ECG was normal but when I looked at it after coming home I saw that there was a suspicious pattern on one section of the ECG. So I sent the screenshot of the same to the doctor and asked him if it was normal to which he replied that it has happened due to machine movement. Is it possible that such a thing could happen? At the bottom of that section, it is written PAT. Can you confirm from the photograph attached herewith that such a suspicious pattern could have happened due to machine movement?
