Brief Answer:
Pillow yes, cholesterol no.

Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.

Regarding high cholesterol the answer is no, it does not cause headaches. It increases the risk for vascular problems, but doesn't cause any symptoms directly.

As for bad pillows, yes it is possible that an inappropriate pillow may lead to inappropriate neck posture over night. As a result there may be neck pain and headache due to muscle stiffness.
