Solution

Blood pressure:

  1. A normal, healthy person would have 120/80mm Hg or lower.
  2. Hypertension is defined as when systolic pressure is 140 mm Hg or higher and diastolic reading is 90 mm Hg or higher.
  3. So, the blood pressure is high and is slightly abnormal.
  4. Hence, it isn't a good blood pressure.
