Brief Answer:
hi and welcome

Detailed Answer:
This is definitely not normal and this is very low pulse rate which is very probably indicating heart disease,obviously heart rythm abnormality so she needs to see cardiologist for further evaluation and pacemaker is one of the options. But in most cases it can be managed by medicines. Wish you good health. Regards
