Shooting chest pain

Ive been having some sharp/dull chest pain occurring over the left side of my chest for about 2 years now. It occurs only at rest, not during strenuous activity at all. Also I've had some pain in my arm shoulder blade and jaw. I am 33 with high cholesterol (270). My doctor said I am low risk for cardiac problems now but I need to bring the cholesterol down and exercise a lot more. Any ideas what this might be?

hello, im not trying to freak you out, but u really need to see a cardiologist, and more specifically, i would recommend for an echocardiogram, that might rule out the heart problems IF its not.
take care..

I would ask to see a carioligist and have some test done just to make sure. I had several test done and was told nothing was wrong for years until they finally found a tumor inside my heart. I would go as far as I had to to rule out my heart even a cath and/or a TEE
