Hello There
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that high cholesterol levels depends on your lifestyle and genetics , but high cholesterol level doesn’t mean hypothyroidism should be there. You can get you TSH levels done.
For chest heaviness it is recommended for you to get an ecg and stress echo done and consult a physician with reports for further management.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
