I am 71 with close to the same readings but I have a record of pressure readings at the doctors so any variations up or down can be read by the doctor which is what you should be doing as a random reading on a home unit is really telling you nothing
hydration, anemia, stress and lots of other variables can affect blood pressure readings so see your doctor on a regular basis --monthly or 3 monthly to get a history for a better understanding of the readings

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.

My blood pressure is 142 over 80 I'm 71 year old female is that normal my doctor didn't seem concerned

That is ok, but high normal. And age has no bearing on blood pressure, what is high for 12 year old is high for an 80 year old. Are you carrying extra pounds? If so loose them and lower the risk of a heart attack by lowering the blood pressure reading. You can read more at www.webmd.com

I am a 64 year old woman and my blood pressure has been high for years. My blood pressure is now 117/72. Is that now too low?

Sounds like a pretty decent blood pressure to me. Of course, see a doctor if you're concerned.

What is a normal blood pressure for a 72 year old male

talk with your doctor as blood pressure readings vary between patients, weights , age and health conditions
always have your blood pressure done by the doctor as that will give a record of any variations that could be harmful
at this point it seems slightly high but the bigger concern is the diabetes and what ever the heart condition is
again consult with your doctor and get a proper diagnosis

Is blood pressure 91 over 62 to low? i am a 63 year old man.

not really unless you suffer blackouts
when doing your own pressure checks , talk with a doctor first to get safe parameters , when to test, when to drink water ( hydrate) and what is considered high enough to seek medical aid
remember when getting advice about your health , you talk with a doctor , not to the world as there are many different opinions that could lead you to a false conclusion

Blood pressure is 120/49

I am sure this is a concerning matter. every patient is different, it would be best that a qulified doctor checks the man to ensure he is ok, as well as blood pressure, blood condition and other details would need to be taken. phone a doctor, health center or hospital for best advice.

What range show my BP be in. 50 year old black

There isn't really a normal blood pressure, there is a continuum of blood pressures among ppl at any age (for example, 50). By age 50, about 1/2 of Americans will have a blood pressure that is higher than what cardiovascular disease prevention guidelines have set as targets.
The goal blood pressure for a 50 year old person without any other medical issues is <140/90. People at higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease have correspondingly lower blood pressure targets. People with kidney disease, diabetes or prediabetes (also known as metabolic syndrome), and those with known cardiovascular disease (heart failure or previous heart attack) should have a target blood pressure of <130.80.
