If you feel good and have no sides, that's a good start. Just keep an eye on it and mention it to your doc next time, just in case.

If it’s asymptomatic, especially in terms of “positional hypotension”, that is, not feeling dizzy when standing, it’s excellent for long term health and a very good indicator of your cardiovascular condition. Proof you have enough arterial flexibility they maintain sufficient blood flow even at low pressure. If that ever changes, just lower the dose.
Symptoms matter more than the numbers. Watch for dizziness, heart palpitations, cold extremities, big drop in urine volume.
Primary care physicians don’t even keep up with current, very conservative, heavily evidence based blood pressure guidelines from the major organizations (American Heart Association, European Society of Cardiology, etc), never mind what the most current research in preventative cardiology shows provides the greatest health benefits.
TLDR, as low as you can get it, “without falling over”, is ideal. It’s unusual to feel fine at that BP, but not as uncommon with athletes and just some percentage of physiological outliers.
Since you have this leg of the cardiovascular stool perfect, get lipids and inflammation into a similarly “elite” range, maintain them, and you’ve crushed any risk from the number one cause of death and disability in the world.

If you're feeling good and not getting dizzy, especially when standing up, that's a good start. But definitely keep an eye on it and let your doctor know what's up. Maybe they'll adjust the dosage.
