Elevated c reactive protein.
HI there.
Hoping for a little feedback on this.
Two weeks ago I had a bloodtest alongside an investigation in to muscle and tendon pain on my left arm (and the right to a lesser degree) and one of the many results provided showed my c reactive protein level at 3 (within the normal range on the blood work printout)
A day after that I had a stress test and the cardiologisy was unhappy about a ct deviation and I am scheduled to have a cardio CT in a matter of days.
SInce the news that I may have a cardio issue I have stopped drinking alcohol,removed all sugar and processed flour from my diet and have dropped cards way down to less than 20% of my dietary intake.
Now (forgive the backstory) I have the results from a blood test two days ago and it shows a reactive level of 6.4 and yet I had made sweeping changes to my diet those weeks ago.
I am at a loss to understand what is going on here.....any suggestions?
(I am a 51 year old male, overweight but already dropped 5 kilos in the last two weeks)
