A heart attack is extremely unlikely in a 23-year-old. Usually a cholesterol level is unnecessary at that age. Lipase is an enzyme and it is not related to cholesterol. If you have chest pain or symptoms that you feel are related to your chest, you should see your primary care doctor or make an initial consult on health tap for an initial workup. Good luck.

Not having a test for cholesterol is not a matter of concern. Lipase is not a "cholesterol thing". For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-preventi
