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, Dr Deepti Verma
