There can be, yes.Low blood pressure - is the pressure reading below 100/70mmHg. Usually sportive or strong persons will have strong heart and stable lower pressure than normal (120/80mmHg) i.e., it would be 110/70 or 100/70mmHg but not below that. This lower pressure usually reduces the risk of cardiac or heart problems. This stable pressure also indicates that heart is well trained to withstand any exertion. Even though low BP rarely creates problem, it needs to be taken count of. Low blood pressure sometimes signals rapid deterioration of health.
Symptoms -It is mostly symptomless, since one gets accustomed to it. But a sudden change in pressure due to change of position or other causes may alarm or alert with symptoms of giddiness or instability. The symptoms of low BP are more or less the same as with high BP - hypertension. They are:
Fainting or reeling sensation or giddiness
Low vitality or weakness
Lack of concentration and sleepiness
Headache and stiff neck
Chest pain and palpitation
Shortness of breath or breathlessness
Diagnosis - is important to rule out the underlying cause, if any. Even though BP is easily verified with sphygmomanometer, it is better to investigate blood for Tc, Dc, Esr & Hb and urine for sugar, albumin and deposits and hormones of thyroid, pituatary and adrenals. It is also better to take a chest X-ray and a scan of the abdomen and pelvis.
Complications - When the blood pressure is low, there will be inadequate blood flow causing lack of oxygen to the heart, brain and other organs. This may cause loss of functions. Sudden drop in pressure or further drop in pressure in low pressure patients can make them collapse, thus endangering life. Low diastolic blood pressure increases the risk of dementia in aged persons - Alzheimer’s disease.

My blood pressure is permanently low (similar to yours) following spinal surgery and a CSF leak.
I suffer sometimes from the usual symptoms of a low BP - ie. dizzy on standing, feeling faint etc. I also get weird feelings like someone is pouring cold water down my legs and arms sometimes, all very odd! I have found the following helps:
I keep a drink and biscuit by my bedside ready for the morning. When I wake up I sit up slowly and have my drink and biscuit before getting out of bed! Take it slowly...
Drink loads of fluids - a low BP can be made worse by restricted fluid intake.
Remember that a low BP is far healthier than a high one though, but if you do find that dizziness becomes a problem, go back to your GP, you don't want to be passing out all over the place!
Hope this helps.

Supplements: Calcium, Magnesium, Garlic, L Carnitine, L glutamic acid, L glutamine, Selenium, Co Q10, EFAs (flaxseed oil) Vitamin C, Lecithin granules and Vitamin E.

Avoid all alcohol, caffeine and tobacco. Fast for three days each month to periodically cleanse and detoxify the body. Get regular exercise, and keep your weight down.

You will be extra-sensitive to cold. Be just a little bit careful to stay warm enough.
some people have a low blood pressure naturally. But if you feel that it is effecting your health, see a doctor.

Thats really unhealthy, you should start eating red meat, fatty food, lots of salt, start drinking and smoking, drink coffee, maybe do some Coke.
These things will help increase your blood pressure, they worked for me. 180/90
