The larger number represents systolic pressure, or the maximum pressure. The smaller number represents diastolic pressure, the minimum pressure in one's arteries. It is one of the principle vital signs.
That reading would indicate a high blood pressure, 120 over 80 would normal.
High blood pressure reading on a chart indicates that one has a disease. It typically has no symptoms but have life threatening consequences if it doesn't get treated.
Diastolic blood pressure is the lower number in a blood pressure reading, representing the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats. It is an important measure of heart health and can indicate the pressure on the arteries during relaxation of the heart muscle.

Arterial pressure
Blood pressure
Yes, blood pressure readings can vary between the left and right arms due to differences in blood vessel constriction. This is known as the inter-arm blood pressure difference. It is important to measure blood pressure in both arms to detect any significant differences that may indicate underlying health issues.
normal blood pressure reading
The normal blood pressure is usually between 120-140 mm Hg (systolic) and 80 - 90 mm Hg (diastolic). Anything higher will be considered as high blood pressure
Second
Systolic (the higher number) is a reading of the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart is beating at its maximum strength. Diastolic (the lower number) tells you what the pressure is in your blood vessels when your heart is at rest.
In my opinion it’s a great blood pressure. the top number or the “Systolic” pressure is the pressure your heart reads when the muscle contracts. the bottom number or the “Diastolic “ Pressure is your heart muscle at rest. FYI 😁
