As others have said your system is at the end of its life and should probably be replaced. It likely won't last much longer.
I bought my house here with a 20 year old furnace and I talked the seller down on the price to cover the cost of replacing it. About a year later it died.
You also have to be careful if you have a natural gas furnace. In my previous house, my furnace was over 20 years old. I'd never had the furnace inspected since I moved in to the place so I called an HVAC company to come clean and inspect it. They found the manifold had holes in it, which can result in it leaking carbon monoxide. They were under legal obligation to shut the furnace off.
