120/80 used to be normal, but they lowed the guidelines last year to 110/70. So you are a bit low, but that is a lot better than being high. You will live a long, healthy life. If you feel its too low and get too dizzy, you can always eat something salty like soup with lots of salt in it. Ask your doctor. If you have no symptoms, I wouldn't worry about it.

They have actually changed the normal range to 118/78. They would become concerned that you have hypotension (low blood pressure) if your BP was lower than 90/60. Anything above that and below the 120/80 or now 118/78 is considered optimal for good health.

Normal blood pressure is 120 over 80. Yours is alittle low but I don't think it's too low for you to worry about unless it keeps getting lower,then I would go and see your doctor.

120 / 80 is normal. Your is just a little lower, but not alarming yet. Do monitor the pressure often and if you feel weak, have a cup of coffee to bring your pressure up.

It could be just normal for you, I have the same BP as you and never been a problem, if your doctors aren't concerned and you feel good don't worry about it
