Question:
Is that to low. he is 19 and weighs 220?! And wat causes ur blood preesure to be soo low

Answers:
120/80 is normal,I guess you're ok

Other Answers:
Nope that is almost perfect.
Too low...

Usually we watch anything below 90/60
If you become symptomatic at that point we push fluids.
That is a perfectly normal BP.
That is about average, I would think that it would be higher considering his weight but that means he has a strong heart, a low pressure is usually thought of as a good thing rather than a bad thing.
no, I'd kill for those #'s and weight
That's pretty low. It's still within the ok range ... He should go see his doctor and keep checking it.

Also, unless it was taken by a doctor or nurse, it could just be machine error. When a cuff is too small or too big, it can give false readings.

He would be dizzy and light headed if he was having trouble.
that is a normal bp. Usually if your bp is a little low you may be a little dehydrated. I would not worry unless if it is less than 90/60 or higher that 140/90 and is not a hypertensive.
No it isn't too low. To find out what causes low blood pressure see:
