Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

Optimum bp is 120/80.

A blood pressure reading lower than 90 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) for the top number (systolic) or 60 mm Hg for the bottom number (diastolic) is generally considered low blood pressure so your blood pressure is considered normal. You may have picked up a virus that is causing your symptoms - make sure you stay well-hydrated since you have diarrhea and call your doctor tomorrow.
Best,
Susan
