Well yours is fine, so firstly you've nothing to worry about.
The first number is Systolic : the peak force when the heart contracts and pumps a small amount of blood into circulation.
The second is Diastolic : is the pressure exerted when the heart is rested momentarily between beats.
Optimal : Less than 120/80
Normal : 130/85
High Normal : 130/85 to 139/89
and so on up into hypertension.
Hope helps :)

It's about normal. They base it on a 120/80 BP which they consider approx. normal.
