In brief: Not always..
Low blood pressure is only an issue if you are symptomatic with it.
Common sx included fainting or feeling extremely dizzy going from a seated or recumbent position. Virtually all studies suggest an lower , mi or ASHD risk the lower the bp. It should only be treated if you have sx.
