Are short bouts of chest and left arm pain likely to be cardiac. i have quite high cholesterol. episodes lasting 1-2 min.

chest pain: The symptoms you describe are unlikely to be cardiac related. They are more likely musculoskeletal . This does not mean you should ignore trying to improve your cardiac risk factors such as cholesterol, however.
