It depends if you are a physically active person it may be your normal if you have always had that reading, but if you don't excercise or are active then it is a bit high the normal blood pressure reading is 120 over 80.
Here is an insert from an article"The new prehypertensive category sets systolic pressure from 120 to 139 and diastolic pressure from 80 to 89 as a warning zone — time to take action against increasing your risk for heart disease, stroke and kidney disease. Consult your healthcare professional if you are in the prehypertensive range and start managing your blood pressure now."

148 is a little high....96 is a little high. 120/80 is the guideline. If you were running or just climbed a staircase then this might be normal for you. particularly if you are overweight. You will have to take it again....it may be lower by now.

I would consider it high, especially the bottom number, which is 96, if you haven't been to the Dr's I would go and have it checked.
The bottom number should not be over 80, they consider 120/80 normal for most people.

this is tending towards the high side
i would suggest you get monitoring every week for a month
if it still sits at this level you should probably start some medical treatment
blood pressure can be volatile so you may find over time it is a little lower
the lower reading - called diastolic should ideally be 90 or less for good health

Yes it is high. 110/70 is normal. You should see your doctor. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can run havoc on your body over time. It is bad for your heart and it can damage your kidneys.
If you are looking for something alternative to take, try the supplement Kyolic Garlic. It is odorless. You need to take it for at least three months in order to see results. If you don't want to go that route, see your doctor. He will either try to get you to change your diet and exercise program or he will prescribe you medication or both.

It's on the high side.
The American Heart association agrees with me, you have high blood pressure.

120/80 is normal. See a doctor. Lose weight if overweight. Start meditating and exercising and your blood pressure will go down. With your blood pressure your doctor will probably try diet and exercise first before prescribing drugs. With that blood pressure you're risking a stroke.

It is a little high as far as the top number is concerned- as far as the bottom number it should be 80 or below so it is high, which is of more concern. If you haven't already, your doctor needs to be notified of this reading.

There is not really a "Normal" but it had the exact reading last week and they told me that is was slightly elevated but nothing to be concerned about unless I started getting bad headaches, vomiting and dizzness. If I expearenced these symptomes I was to go in right away to see a doctor. I would recommend you do the same.

Though the upper number (148) [known as systolic pressure] is in the range of number, the lower number (96) [known as diastolic pressure] is a bit high.
You should talk with your primary care physician.

No. It is high.
Your top number should be 120 or less. Anything between 120 and 140 is "borderline" high. Yours is above that, so you are high. Your bottom number should preferably be 80 or below. Up to 90 is borderline. Again, you are above that.
But one test doesn't prove anything. People vary from day to day and from time to time within a day. Several readings are necessary before your doctor can make any diagnosis or recommend any treatment.
It is also important to get your blood pressure taken by a professional. Don't rely on the machines you find in drug stores and supermarkets. If your reading of 148/96 did not come from a doctor or nurse's blood pressure meter, then it is time to get an accurate reading before you start to worry too much.
Good luck. Hi blood pressure is a funny thing. It doesn't hurt, so it is easy to ignore or even forget about entirely. But it can *kill* you just the same. On the other hand, treating it is usually fairly easy, assuming you get to it before it does any damage to your heart, your eyes, or your kidneys. So don't wait around. See a doctor. Good luck!!
