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
