Brief Answer:
it was very dangerous
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
A BP of 40 is extremely dangerous and cause critically low blood flow to vital organs like brain and kidney. Dehydration should not be allowed to progress to such a level where BP is so low.
Anyway, as you have recovered now then no problems. But please prevent such incident in future.
Hope this helps.
