My blood pressure can get to 109/68 when am resting i use minoxidil topical 5% i wonder if thats the cause of that? am afraid of keep using it now?

Topical medications like those cited do not penetrate the skin deep enough to enter the bloodstream and effect any body functions like blood pressure. Those values are also normal. I don't see any reason not to use it but do what you wish.
