Dear Sir/ Ma'm
Thanks for writing to us.
A systolic blood pressure of 80 mmHg is definitely low and must be looked into, especially if this is not your usual BP. Moreover you seem to be symptomatic for this.
I would advise you to visit ER (emergency room) and get your medicines revised. Moreover there can other causes which an examination will rule out.
