My ekg showed low voltage in the limb leads. my doctor wasnt concerned. im 38 year old female bmi 19.5 i had a previousnormal ekg should i be worrie?

NO: Low voltage on an EKG usually is caused by placement of the leads. This usually does happen from the limb leads because they are placed farther than the precordial leads. Also, they can be placed at different locations. For example more toward your ankle on one EKG versus closer or at your knee on another.
