Significant : That level of hypotension (low blood pressure) is serious, both as an indication of severe disease, and as a risk for damage to various organs dependent on blood flow. I would be worried that you are not on the right set of heart failure medicines or not on the right doses. Certainly you should be re-evaluated without any significant delay. At a minimum, talk to your heart failure specialist.
