Perfect: It's a perfect blood pressure, but i would not base your cure on just one reading. You would want to establish a trend. I would check blood pressure first thing in A.M. To know your baseline. Also, you can check your blood pressure throughout the day after 15 minutes of rest in sitting position. Make sure the cuff is at the heart level, whether it is a brachial or wrist one.
