Is There A Risk If Theres A Sudden Dip In BP?

I went to my clinic today and had my blood pressure taken and its low. I wasn't given any medication for it but I am worried about it and will watch it closely for the next couple of weeks. My question is should I be worried.It is never quite as low as it was today.

If you have symptoms its too low. Symptoms include feelings of fatigue, passing out, palpitations, dizziness. If you have none of these than a low bp is beneficial as high bp is a cardiovascular risk factor.
