Suddenly High Cholesterol at 27 (M). Everyone says I'm fine. Please help

Hello,
I just got my blood test back and have 117 mg/dl LDL. Everything else like triglycerides, HDL A1C, blood sugar is in the optimal range. the Triglyceride to HDL Ratio is perfect. I had plenty of ECGs, Stress ECG an Echo and a Doppler Ultrasound, everything is fine. I don't drink, I don't smoke and an exercises regularly and get my steps in daily, my stress level is mostly low (I sometimes suffer from mild anxiety). I supplement Omega 3 from Algae, Vitamin D3/K2 and magnesium bisglycinate. My diet is mainly mediterranean with Olive Oil, Oats, Yoghurt, plenty of Fruit & veggies, Kefir, Sweet Potatoes, rarely Bread and no meat (I dont like it personally). No sign for genetically high Cholesterol. I feel fine. My LDL score has always been around 60-70 until this year, but therefore the tri's, HDL and A1C and blood sugar was in the higher end of the range. Also scared to check Lipo A because for now I can't change it anyways.

What can I do to lower my Cholesterol or do I stress out too much and the level is fine? I appreciate any help, thanks a lot...

I can't feel my heartbeat and it freaks me out.

I had a burning pain in my chest in October 2025 (which retrospectively was not that extreme) and I went to the ER, everything was fine. Following this, I had multiple ECGs, 2 Echos, 2 stress ECGs, blood work, Doppler Ultrasound, blood pressure tests and everything was fine every single time. My cardiologist literally told me to enjoy my life. I underwent cognitive behavioral therapy for a while and at some point my therapist told me "You don't have any traumas, we can't really find a root of your anxiety - you have to step outside in the world and get back to work."
And since then, I feel so stupid because I dont have any heart symptoms but this particular silence in my body is making me crazy and I constantly check my pulse. With this comes the fear of being alone in the case that an emergency happens. I'm 27, travelled around the world alone and now moved back to my parents house. I just cannot find a way to just accept my bodies wellbeing state. I'm scared of everything related to the heart - exercises, sleep, walking, sitting, being alone, etc.
I'd appreciate any kind of help!!!
