Hello,
Yes, this heart rate is too low, and is likely at least partly responsible for your dizziness. I would recommend stopping this medication until you can contact your doctor and get further instruction. In the meantime, please be careful when getting up from sitting or laying down and walking, to make sure you do not faint or fall down.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
