Check with your doct: It may be just anxiety, but a good history and physical exam would be worthwhile.

Anxiety : Since the symptoms didn't start till you received what you feel is bad news, anxiety associated with news would be most likely. Though i would run this by your pcp. Elevated cholesterol is something that can easily addressed and controlled with exerxice, diet and occaisionally medications. This is an opportunity to make an early adjustment that will have long term + effects :).
