No, this is normal: You are young and healthy, such a variation in heart rate is not abnormal when resting for someone in their early 20's. It may drop even lower when you are asleep.

Heart rate: When you lie down the venous return to the heart increases and heart rate typically will slow as yours does. This is normal.
