Pain in arms when they are above my head, also night time arm pain. i have high cholesterol. could this be an artery issue?

Possibly: There are a lot of potential causes, and i would encourage you to be seen. A detailed exam and appropriate studies can usually determine the cause. One example of a potential cause is thoracic outlet syndrome, which is often aggravated by raising the arms above the head as you are describing. Consider being seen.
