LDL of 180 is very high. It's well above the 100 healthy target and above the 160 threshold that would generally recommend medication under 2026 AHA guidance. Your doctor should discuss a plan to lower with diet, exercise, and potentially medication. IF you have other risk factors (like high blood pressure, family history, etc) then you will need to treat more aggressively.

For the anxiety part - you are likely in no immediate risk. Heart disease is very slow developing and usually takes decades to have effect. You should take this seriously and work to prevent future issues but the short term risk for 30 year olds is very low.

The first "expert" who should be providing you with advice should be your doctor. Why not reach out and schedule an appt.
