    A blood pressure of 120/90 is not "normal".  The American Heart Association has changed their standards recently.  Check out their website.  The top number (systolic) of 120 is excellent, however, the bottom number (diastolic) of 90 is too high.  This number is the pressure of your blood when the heart is at rest and should not consistently be above 85.

    yes I agree, though it is the low range of high, it is at the very least a possible warning of a blood pressure/circulation problem, if it stays at that level. Take you BP often and if you keep getting a bottom number above 85, talk to your Dr. that is what I have been told.
