I chased that same problem for some time, because the engine would seemingly run and did not make any funny noises. Tried a new oil filter, new oil pressure relief valve, new oil pressure switch, thicker oil...
The issue was much more serious (broken valve retainer that got swallowed up by the oil pump). Dropping the oil pan was what provided positive diagnosis. Ended up putting in a new engine.
So, yes, as has been mentioned in previous posts, low oil pressure could be a sign of more serious issues, so I would not drive the car.
