A good starting point for normal blood pressure is 120/80.  The first number represents the systolic pressure.  This is the maximum pressure in your arteries that is created during the contraction of the left ventricle.  The second number represents the diastolic blood pressure.  The diastolic pressure is the measurement of the pressure in the arteries when the heart relaxes.  Signs of high pressure is when the systolic pressure is over 130 or when the diastolic pressure is over 90.  You should contact your health care provider when either of these conditions occur.
