Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Not necessary. Systolic is mildly increased for age. Relaxation and avoidance of stress will be helpful.
2. When on surgery, he might require good control of medications.
3. Not sure, why he is having back surgery. Back exercises and physiotherapy will be helpful.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
