I am having heart problems. my doctor told me a while ago i had high cholesterol and my heart has been hurting for a couple days now. what should i do?

Check up: This does not sound like a heart issue, but you should go get it checked out by your doctor. High cholesterol is a risk factor, like having a family history of heart problems, or getting older. It is not a sign of a heart condition. Pain in your chest can be caused by many things and you will need to give you doctor more information and have an exam to know what the cause is.
