Hypotension is considered low blood pressure. Anything under the established 120/80 is considered hypotension, whether systolic or diastolic. Systolic is the 120 and measures the pressure of the arteries when the heart contracts and diastolic is the 80 and measures the pressure of the arteries when the heart is at rest.
