My blood pressure is 87/48. Is this a bad thing?

I do feel a little light headed and I've been super tired lately.

Yes that is a bad thing it sounds like hypotension and you should get looked at if you're dizzy. You could have anemia or something serious going on. Definitely consult your Primary Care Physician. You should drink a bunch of water to help your blood cells. Dizziness can be a sign of a lack of oxygen within your bloodstream and is a serious issue.

What is considered a textbook perfect normal BP is 120/80. However some people run lower for instance I run at either 118/76. Another time to be concerned if you are show signs of hypotension like you do and you're dizzy. Another concern is if a person is at 140/90 or higher which is considered hypertension.

If you're usually healthy it may just be dehydration, medication or hypertension. Just in case see your doctor. Don't stop any medicine until you speak with your GP.

that's pretty low. normal is 100-120 systolic and like 50-70 ish dystolic. but most healthy people run at 120s/70s.
