Suggest Treatment To Reduce Cholesterol Level

Hello. I recently had a blood test, and I was 20 points over on my cholesterol. I went in for heart burn I think but I haven't experienced much of that. The doc said that I might blurb alot because I might swallow too much air. I don't have much of the classic heart burn symptoms. The past week I recently been experincing warm and dull pain under my left chest(peck). I don't drink/smoking pot anymore (past 4 months). I started to run 3-4 times a week and my diet is pretty good. I don't know if there is stress, I have a 15 month old and another due in March.

What should I do?
