Even if the lab values are not the cause of your current symptoms, your lipids need attention to prevent heart and blood vessel disease. It is imperative that you see a doctor, preferably a cardiologist for an evaluation and advice regarding diet, exercise and may be medication.

Per Se, an elevated LDL does not cause chest pain. The latter should be evaluated to see whether it is due to narrowing of the arteries supplying the heart with blood. It is the insufficient supply of blood to keep up with the demands of heart muscle that causes a specific kind of pain. A high cholesterol is one of the factors that may lead to narrowing of the (coronary) arteries.
