Why does the heart rate graph have broken vertical bars; what do they mean?

Here's my chart for one week in May. Does this mean my heart rate jumped to 205 briefly?

Heart rate monitor In my heart rate graph the vertical lines are mostly solid. Why does it show a broken line here and there? This usually happens when it says my heart rate is low in the 40’s. Does the broken line mean it’s not reading accurately?

High heart rate readings My heart rate hits 120+ at least once a day. It only shows that rate for the one measurement with measurements just before and after the high reading being in the 50’s or 60’s. The line on the graph iOS not solid and has one or two gaps? Is this accurate? Why the spaces in the high reading vertical line in the graph?

Heart rate reading glitch? Checking my stats from last night, I averaged a resting heart rate of 50-63, but in the early hours my stats show my heart rate reading with two dots, the bottom at 52, the top dot at 153 - surely that's a glitch?
