I recently bought a home ECG machine to monitor my heart. Part hobby. Part medical reasons. When I did a test with electrodes for my limbs. Lead 1 was not the same as lead 2 and 3. Lead 1 was barely giving a signal. What could this mean?

Pulse is regularly mid-low 50s when sitting or lying down. Had 2 EKGs recently, both came back normal, tho pulse was high during both due to anxiety, not sure if that could impact results. Should I be concerned about the low pulse?
