In general 120/60 is a good blood pressure and anything below that or above 140 or 80 should be evaluated by your health care provider. However, health status, age, and other circumstances can affect whether your BP reading is good for you or not.

You can learn to take your own blood pressure, or to take it for someone else, and make a log of readings at different times of the day and during different circumstances to hep your health care provider determine a course of action.
