Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

The normal blood pressure BP readings for a 73 years old should be below 140/90 mmHg.

If the BP is above 140/90 you are having high BP (or hypertension) and if your systolic BP will be below 90 mmHg your BP should be considered low (or hypotension).

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
