120/80 is perfectly fine, 60/40 is twice less and can’t be perfectly fine, 80/40 is much closer to the latter.
Edit: can’t find anything regarding what exactly low pressure shouldn’t be. Everywhere it says “lower than 120/80” is good. Like okay 0/0 also seems healthy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I once had 80/40 or 60/40, can’t remember exact number, for a very short time. It wasn’t too pleasant and judging by the doctor reaction it wasn’t supposed to be that low. It was just after a tooth removal, just a bit of overreaction 😅
Thank you for sharing the info, I should memorise the threshold to use it when uncertain if the pressure is too low
What units is that perfectly fine in?

Mean Arterial Pressure is the actual number we use as a guideline. MAP is calculated as 1/3 of the top BP number + 2/3 of the bottom number:

Goal is bare minimum 60, and preferably >65. A BP of 80/40 gives you a MAP of 53, which = no bueno. Your kidneys and brain will not be happy.
