Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Fetal heart rate is low in:
1.chromosomal anomalies
2. Congenital heart disease
3. Idiopathic( no cause found) .
However, fetal heart beat is said to be low when it is less than100 bpm.
I suggest you not to worry and take the medicines as advised by your doctor.
Do get a repeat ultrasound after2 weeks to confirm the fetal heart rate.
Hope you found the answer helpful .
Wishing you good health.
Regards,
