Low heart rate (48 bpm) with dizziness

My mother (63 years) has been experiencing dizziness. Her ECG shows sinus bradycardia with heart rate around 48 bpm and mild conduction delay. Blood reports (sugar, thyroid, B12) are normal. She is on Atorvastatin (Orvas 10) for cholesterol from long time. Doctor has prescribed vertigo and nerve-related medicines, but I am concerned whether the low heart rate is causing her symptoms.
