Hi There
I have read your query and understanding your concern for your friend.
I want to tell you generally there is no relation between hernia surgery and blood pressure. But in some patient there can be high or low BP post operatively. It will stabilize itself if there is no underlying high blood pressure issue before the surgery.
So you need not worry and wait for some more time and talk to attending surgeon.
Hopefully I answered all your queries.
Good Luck
