SUPER low blood pressure

So I'm 19 years old, and I've been to the doctors 3 times now over a course of 6 months. Every single time I went in, they took my vitals like usual, but the thing is, is my pulse is always super high, this time the average pulse for me is 108, the doctor took my pulse like 4 times yesterday. Idk why she did but she kept looking at it like something was wrong, then she asked me if my blood pressure was usually this low, ( my BP is 88/56) I told her that it's been like that for months and I thought it was normal. She said that it was most definitely not normal but maybe because I'm so skinny that's why. I'll also tell you my other vitals which were BPI 17.56KG/M2 and my resp was 16 and my height is 5'11, and my weight is 125lb. I just need to know if I'm actually a healthy teen. The doctors at Kaiser aren't very good at telling me that, they just say that they don't really know because I'm so skinny but I don't feel unhealthy, yet my blood pressure is always super low. Also, I don't work out at all, haven't ran in like 2 years but I do walk along everywhere if that counts lol. And I also eat a lot, more than the average person. I tend to eat anything I feel like though which isn't very healthy but oh well cuz I'm skinny so what's it gonna do?

    First, I dont have good reviews of Kaiser.

    Your height is 5'1 "    ot 5'11"  ? 

    You said your skinny. Low weight and heigh folks generally have low BP. 

    however, it should be above 90/60 ...... your close.
