That's just about perfect. Lot of people would love to be in your place.
If your blood pressure is less than 120/80:
Your blood pressure is normal
from the site:
http://www.bystolic.com/hypertension/mea…
So according to them your is normal. However, if anything you might have low blood pressure. This site didn't give numbers for that.
The information on this site also is consistent with what the little self-check card I got from WalMart says, but it too doesn't list for low bp.
If you have symptoms of dizziness and lightheadedness when you stand up or get lightheaded out of breath walking short distances it could be low bp, I had that for a while but don't remember what my readings were.
120/80 is the generally accepted 'normal' - so yours is fine.
If it goes any lower, you will be heading towards the 'low blood pressure' end of the scale
