Sounds just about right how do you feel.
Blood pressure is just one indicator of your health I find the more I check the sicker I feel.
If you have a good energy level are eating a good diet don't get dizzy when you stand up or faint or feel like you're heads busting open when you do stand up or move quickly then your blood pressure is probably just fine.
Listen to the signs are body is giving you.
Good luck and stay active.

I am worried my blood pressure is too low. I am a 68 year old woman. My last reading (out of 3 five minutes apart) was 100 over 75.

Low blood pressure, or hypotension, is rarely cause for concern - unless it's extremely low and related to shock. Hypotension is commonly defined as a blood pressure less than 100/60 (pressure between 100/60 and 120/80 is considered optimal). For most people, living with low blood pressure is not an issue.

I am 75 yrs old my blood pressure is at 111 over 72 good or bad??

The normal blood pressure range is below 120/80. Healthy blood pressure must be low than the above value which helps to lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Doctor trying to get my blood pressure up, drink coffee, use salt. B/P used to be 120/90. Dropped to 59/31 once. Now ranges from 105/59 to 110/60. I am 80 yrs. old, have Parkinsons.

for a 80 yr old with parkinsons last readings look as good as you will get

keep in touch with your doctor is the best advise

dont know how coffee and salt do the job long term
maybe blood thinners can be taken because of you other medical issues
blood pressure tablets are the normal way to deal with pressure

Blood pressure at 70 years old female 140/67?

Pretty good . The one to really watch is the second one which shows the pressure when the heart is in between contractions. if it gets close to 90 or above that is no good.. Your bp meds generally work on the high end but not the low end.

I'm 66 yrs of age my blood pressure is 155 over 98, is that too high?

far too high
anything over 140 should be discussed with a doctor
If you are self monitoring at home ensure that the monitor is correctly calibrated before each use
Take it along to the doctors and have your pressure read on his machine then read it off yours
To give you an example my blood pressure regularly reads 115 over 55 and my concern that it is too low but the doctor says better low than high and I and 71
