Low resting heart rate is usually a good thing as it indicates you are fit and, although you should get it checked, I'd be much more worried if it were too high.

Also some people have a lower heart rate than normal for reasons relating to genetics. The Spanish cycling legend Miguel Indurain famously had a resting heart rate of 29bpm and although he was obviously very fit a lot of this was genetics.
