Low blood pressure shouldn’t be ignored when you have symptoms (such as you describe). Normal is considered around 120/80. When you don’t have enough pressure, your vital organs may not be getting enough oxygen, etc.. which can cause damage. It’s also very important to consider the reason your pressure is low. It could be that you don’t have enough fluids, or the blood vessels are abnormally too dilated, or there could be a problem with the heart.
It sounds to me like maybe you’re not eating or drinking enough. I’d start there. Eat. Drink gatorade to replenish any electrolytes you may be lacking. If that doesn’t work, see a doctor.
eat more drink gatorade
I have no idea what 7 stone is, but you are probably malnurished and dehydrated based on your self proclaimed statement of, "I do tend too skip meals and not eat a lot." Drink 8 glasses of water a day and have 3 balanced meals and 2 snacks a day. If you don’t feel better in 3 days, go see your doc for a physical.
You are way to thin. You are 5ft 6 inches and only weigh about 98 pounds. Since you say you skip meals and don’t eat much, I would be concerned that you have an eating disorder. Your blood pressure is low enough that you probably don’t feel well, but you quite possibly are also suffering from malnutrition. You need to get your self to a doctor for a physical exam and start eating and drinking liquids.
