Hello and thank you for your question.
In most patients blood pressure below 140/90 is normal. However, if you have certain conditions like diabetes or kidney disease your doctor may want it to be below 120/80. If you do not have those conditions your doctor may be able to lower your medication dose slightly.
Regards
