I am having pain in the upper ribs mainly in the centre on the sternum and on the side of ribs. There is also pain in the backbone. The chest pain first started with right side but now it has spread to the entire chest area. It has started about 1 month back. Somedays it is less some days it is more. The pain is felt more when I sleep directly under the ceiling fan or table fan or A.C. I am sweating excessively for the last fewdays. I did the ECG, Chest X-Ray, CBC, Echocardiography. The reports of all the above reports are OK. After that I did the
Lipid profile. There it was found that My Total
Cholestrol Level was high at 286,
Triglycerides - 194,
HDL - 58,
LDL - 189.2, VLDL - 38.8. Now my question is does high Cholestrol lead to chest pain ? Should I take any medicines for lowering cholestrol ? Will this releive my chest pain ? Please help me with your suggestions. Thanking you in advance.
