Answer 1

You do not state whether you are male or female. What is your  height and weight?. Are you taking any  medications? Do you have any underlying medical conditions? How was your BP  being measured, manually or mechanically? How do you feel with a BP of 92/55, it can be considered low, under some circumatances.  Take it in both arms  after you have been sitting for 5 minutes and keep your arm straight. Then repost

Answer 3

thats a good blood pressure. the 120/80 thing is just an average, just like your temp "should" be 98.6 lots of people are 96 to 99, its just an average, unless your really dizzy all the time you are fine. my pressure is usually 90/50 all the time too and im 5'5 150 pounds.

Answer 4

Too low. When the diastolic number (lower #) gets below 60, you become light-headed, woozy, may pass out.

Answer 5

You need to take a few things into consideration.  Your age, if you're male or female and how many times you had it taken.  

It is low but it you aren't having any symptoms like sluggishness, chest pains, fainting or dizziness then this article says you don't have low blood pressure.

Answer 6

That's really low. They consider 120/80 normal.

Answer 7

If you aren't fainting and/or getting lightheaded, then you have ideal blood pressure.  The lower the better, for the most part.  I have high blood pressure, and that puts me at extra risk of stroke and heart disease.  Consider yourself lucky.
