120/80 give or take.
No, this blood pressure is actually within the new guidelines for optimum blood pressure (110/70). A blood pressure that is too low would be symptomatic, such as feinting or lightheadedness when standing.

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.
Resting Blood Pressure: Diastolic (blood filling into atrium of heart) is the top number Systolic (blood pumping from atrium into ventricles of heart) is the bottom number
Because blood pressure changes.
A blood pressure reading consists of two numbers: systolic pressure (the top number) and diastolic pressure (the bottom number). The systolic pressure measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, while the diastolic pressure measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats. The third number, if present, is the pulse pressure, calculated by subtracting the diastolic pressure from the systolic pressure. This number gives an indication of the force the heart generates with each contraction.
Itis just at the bottom of the stage 1 high blood pressure chart.
