Hi,
It looks fine. You need not worry. If you are overweight then try reducing your weight. Sometimes low voltage is seen in overweight individuals. Your heart rate is good and with normal limits. How's your cholesterol levels? After surgery strict to a healthy routine and take more fiber in your diet like more fruits and vegetables. You will improve.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
