Yes that is very low. From the number that's probably ionized Calcium they are testing you for. And that's usually above 4. If just blood calcium that should be at least 8. You should have your parathyroid gland checked because the function for parathyroid gland is to regulate calcium distribulation in your body. Calcium too low can affect your heart rate and other function and can be dangerous.

Ok, I never say this, but you are WAY low and need to call your physician for answers.
Normal is above 8.
