The average pressure produced in the ventricles when they contract
and when the blood is pumped into the aorta and the pulmonary
artery is known as the 
systolic pressure It is equal to the pressure exerted by a
column of 120 mm of mercury The average pressure produced in the
ventricles when they relax and are filled with blood is known as
the 
diastolic pressure It is about 80 mm of mercury Hence, the value
of blood pressure in an adult is about 
120/80

So, the blood pressure of the patient is normal
