"Typical values for a resting, healthy adult are approximately 120 mm Hg systolic and 80 mm Hg diastolic (written as 120/80 mm Hg)"

The 85 is the diastolic pressure and its a bit high.

It's not a level you need to worry about! 120/80 are averages (Gaussian distribution). If you ARE concerned then ask a doctor!
