HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The normal lower limit for blood pressure is 90/60 mmHg but some persons may have readings lower than either this systolic (top reading) or diastolic (lower reading) and experience no symptoms.
The symptoms of low blood pressure are dizziness, fatigue, fainting, shortness of breath, cold and clammy sensation, difficulty concentrating.
If you are currently not experiencing any symptoms then you do not need to be concerned.If you are experiencing symptoms then you may need to consider visiting your doctor for an assessment.
I hope this helps
