My cholesterol total is 204, my triglycerides is 225, my HDL is 49, my VLDL cholesterol is 45, and my LDL is 110. Is there cause to be concerned and take medication, or can diet and exercise be enough?

I had inguinal hernia surgery 2 weeks ago with two incisions, one 5 inches and another 2 inches below it. I have been in excruciating pain, with pain extending down my leg and up the right side, despite taking pain medication. The incision is raised and painful, but not infected. The surgeon suggested he may have cut a nerve due to the depth of the surgery. I am worried about the cause of the pain and the need for a second incision, and whether there could be permanent damage such as a ligament or tendon being cut. I want to ensure a full recovery without long-term issues.

I have a bad cough that causes pain in my mid back on the right side, more on the side of my body than directly on my back, to the right of my rib cage. The pain does not hurt to the touch, only when I cough. I have been wheezing when I sleep and have a dry cough. I am a heavy drinker and smoker. What could be causing this and what should I do?
