Should I need to see doctor right away? - High Cholesterol Message Board

I am 54 years old. I have been having high Cholesterol since about 3 years ago, my recent test results are:
Cholesterol: 202, Triglycerides : 112, HDL 46, LDL 134.
my blood pressure is always normal.
but recently some time I feel headaches and arms, shoulder pain,
I am worry about if they are the early symptoms for "ruptured blood vessel (aneurysm) in the brain. Should I need to see my doctor very often? but I want to know if the doctor can do some special tests to find out or he only can test my Cholesterol and my blood pressure. if he only can test my blood pressure, I don't think he can has me to relax because the blood pressure is OK and Cholesterol is not too high.
Any kind of advice will be appreciated.

Instead of guessing about the cause of the symptoms that you report and trying to diagnose yourself, why not see a doctor now and find out what's really going on?
