Does this ecg look right?

I have a Kardia 6 lead EKG device. I’m overweight but have no other underlying health issues other than anxiety. From my limited knowledge it looks like lead iii is upside down?

Please ask a medical professional.

I wouldn't get hung up on it unless you have symptoms in which case seek help. Do remember the Kardia 6 is very good but it is a finger tip device and not a full blown egg machine. It will never be quite as good as a full ecg. If you are worried seek help from a doctor.

p.s. a long time ago I used to interpret ecgs. I am out of practice! But it didn't make sit up and think anything was wrong. But again if you are worried please see your doctor.

TWICE I said cosult your own doctor. I could not have been clearer on this. I did NOT offer medical advice, diagnosis or offer an interpretation of the ECG.

This is a 6 lead ECG and I have no knowledge of it other than to say that if the QRS wave is net negative in some leads then the P and T waves must also be negative.

As was said, consult your cardiologist. GPs are Jack's of all trades but master of none.
