 Dear mdlpena
Excercise is always recommended for patients with hypercholestrolemia, and in fact for every one in general.
This is very important in your case since you already have some risk factors for hypertension, diabetes, etc ( family history) that might predispose you to any of them
However, if you feel that your chest pain is getting worse, and stopping you from doing the normal activities you usually do, i will definitely recommend that you ask your doctor and get it checked.
Thank you very much and i wish you all the best.
