> Be aware that low blood pressure can be bad just like high blood pressure can be.
Not in the way high blood pressure is. Chronic hypertension is associated with a variety of complications and conditions.
Other than in case of a sudden drop (e.g., due to blood loss or a severe allergic reaction), low blood pressure very rarely is dangerous. Common symptoms include lightheadedness, fatigue or, in more severe cases, syncopes (commonly known as fainting). By itself, even the latter isn't immediately dangerous (depending on the situation its consequences might be, though, of course).
If low blood pressure is a mere symptom of an underlying condition, such as bradycardia (low heart rate), that's an entirely different matter. In those cases, however, just addressing the low blood pressure instead of the actual condition literally would amount to treating a symptom but not the cause.
