well, 120/80 is normal, 140/90 is considered high. you don't have anything to worry about. the top number is your systolic BP, which is the pressure of your heart pumping, the bottom number is the diastolic BP, which is a measure of the resistance to the blood by the vessel walls (not the best way of saying it, but that's the general idea).
i have friends who have bp's of 90/50, but they're also smaller people, tiny girls. low bp is only an issue if you're getting light headed when you get up, or blacking out if you get up too fast. otherwise, you probalby don't have to worry, and unless you end up with a bp of under 100/x, you probably don't have to worry. i just repeated myself. yay!
