As iceRayven commented, unless there are symptoms of illness I would not be concerned. The readings are within normal limits. A significant piece of information is the pulse. A blood pressure reading alone, without knowing the pulse, as well as if the pulse is regular, irregular, or regularly irregular, does not provide sufficient information.

http://www.bystolic.com/hypertension/?WT.srch=1&guid=350144475 It has some nice info on it..any thing less then 120/80 is usually good. Unless you have any other symptoms I wouldn't be concerned to much

What time of day are you getting these readings?

A systolic (the upper #) reading of 120 or more and or a diastolic (the lower #) reading of 80 or more is considered higher than desirable, especially if those readings are taken while sitting or laying down and at rest.

Keep a diary of your BP. Take it daily before you first get out of bed in the morning. Bring your diary to your next appointment with your health care provider.

Over the long term, high blood pressure damages your blood vessels and can lead to serious problems. Your readings are not that much above the desirable range, you may be able to lower your BP with modifications in diet and exercise. Your health care provider would be the best person to talk to about your specific risks and treatment options

I would consider talking to your doctor seems about normal but then again a bit to low, if you have been feeling sick as in dizzy nausea or lightheaded i would talk to your dr asap
