Hi,
Welcome.
Yes low bp can cause dizziness but its rare at a pressure of 111/65mm Hg.
You should check for orthostatic hypotension i.e. change in bp with change of position. If in changing position from lying down to standing systolic bp falls by >30 or diastolic bp to >15 than you should see your primary doctor.
Thanks
