Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Your pain is muscular / doesn’t appear to be related to heart pain – pain from the heart is oppressing, in central chest (and left), worse on effort, relieved by rest, may radiate to shoulders and arms, associated with sweating and so on
Cholesterol does not directly cause chest pain. There are subdivisions of cholesterol – LDL, HDL, non-HDL and so on. LDL is bad cholesterol – lower, the better / 100 (in ischemia, 70) is the aim. Need Life style changes - weight to normal / No tobacco or alcohol / Diet and exercise
Repeat the test in 6 weeks… if still high, you need drugs (manufactured in the liver, determined by heredity.) Statin is the first choice.

Good luck
God bless you
