Keeping cholesterol and weight under control are not goals that can be accomplished in a hurry. They involve lifestyle changes with diet and exercise critical in the long run. Establishing with a primary care doc would be a wise first step in order to have work up if needed for your chest pain and a good plan overall going forward.
