General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
At the age of 67 yrs and with these height and weight parameters,you have a fairly normal blood pressure value.
Do you take any anti-hypertensive medications?
Do you have any other chronic disease?

The normal blood pressure range is
systolic- 120-140
diastolic- 60-90.
So considering your age,it's absolutely normal.
Nothing to worry about.Take care
