Heart rhythms: Heart monitors are designed to pick up rhythms and record them so the doctor can review them in association with your symptoms. It would be best to record the time of your symptoms and submit them to your doctor for review. However, if you have an implanted device as a pacemaker or ICD and you are getting shocks from it, then yes, you should go to the emergency department.
