Hi adarsh,
Parts of your question I found confusing, but let me address your total cholesterol and blood pressure numbers.
It is normal for blood pressure to vary. However, your blood pressure should be less than 120/80 the majority of the time. Continue to monitor yourself to get a good average of where you fall and discuss with your MD. Go here to read more about blood pressure.
For heart health, you want total cholesterol to be below 200. You are slightly high. It is possible to bring your numbers back down by following a heart healthy diet. Again, speak with you MD to see if further intervention is advised. You can learn more about cholesterol basics here.
All the best,

I agree with the RN poster. It's important to get checked out, and time for some lifestyle changes. Blood pressure varies all during the day . . . every day. 140/90 is fairly high, and so is 130/100. Getting your BP at or below 100/70 would be ideal, but work with your doctor to at least get it lower than it is now. 32 is not too late to start making some healthy changes. Pain in the chest could be many different things, depending on many different factors. And, sometimes could be what is known as "referred" pain--pain that originates somewhere else in the body, but because of the placement and nature of nerves, is felt in an entirely different area. You say you have gastric problems. Sometimes pain that originates in the gut can be felt as chest pain. But better to have this checked out with a full blood workup, x-rays and ECG (EKG).
