left side chest pain and high cholesterol

Hello  thanks in advance.  I'm a 23 yr old male, 6ft, and 205lbs, very inactive person and don't eat the greatest.  I also drink beer on a daily basis, avg. 12 per day and somedays maybe alot more, which is not good at all.  I know that I need to cut that out.  I've been having left side chest pain on and off for a yr now, I've had echo's, holter monitor, and event monitor, all normal besides premature beats, PVC's and PAC's, and also vtach.  I sleep way to much, avg. 10-11 hrs a night, I sometimes wake up with left side chest pain.  I had my cholesterol checked and it came back Total-245, Triglycyrides-253, HDL-39, and LDL-156.  How bad is this and is that enough to cause my chest pain and am I at risk for a heart attack??  If I'm more active could I get this lowered? and does the beer I drink affect cholesterol levels?  Thanks so much.

Beer is full of sugar, so you may want to start thinking about diabetes.  Diabetes is something that you definitely want to be careful to avoid especially if you have high cholesterol and are at higher risk for heart disease.  Stop the beer!  LDL needs to be 100 or below, HDL should be in the 40's for men, triglycerides should be 150 or below.  Reducing or eliminating red meat from your diet should drop the LDL and triglyercides considerably.  I have my LDL down to 79, HDL 54, and triglycercides 35.  I did it with diet.  Eat salmon for the omega 3 and to raise HDL levels.  Eat fresh organic vegetables, brown rice, fruits.  Eliminated beef from my diet 13 years ago (and prime rib was my favorite).  Eliminated pork from my diet for 1 year, the LDL and triglyercides dropped more but became anemic so started eating pork once or twice a month now.  My iron's up to 16 now.  Drink plenty of water for energy and to avoid feeling tired.  Make sure that you are getting enough vitamin B, vitamin D and calcium in your diet.  Today, I found out that a 26 year old man had a heart attack.  It happens at young ages.  Make the diet changes today to improve your heart.
