I just got my results from a full body check-up, and it turns out my high sensitivity C-reactive protein (HSCRP) level is at 20 mgL. Is this something I should be worried about? Do I need to be on any medication? Would love your thoughts on this.

based on your high sensitivity C-reactive protein (HS-CRP) level of >20 mgL, it indicates inflammation in your body. To lower your HS-CRP level and reduce inflammation, you can consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management can also help in reducing inflammation. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring your HS-CRP levels.

Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He just had angioplasty with stents put in last month, and now he's dealing with a heavy cold, runny nose, and watery eyes that wont quit. He's already on a bunch of meds for his coronary disease, so I'm hesitant about what to give him for relief. Do you think cetrizine is okay to help with the runny nose, or is there anything else you'd recommend that won't mess with his existing meds?

Question

I'm really worried about my parents' health. My father, who's 71, has a CT value of 18 and is a heart patient. My mother is 70, her CT value is 6, and she's diabetic. Should I be concerned about their condition? Would appreciate any advice you can give!

Question

I'm experiencing some discomfort after meals. Whenever I eat a heavy meal, I get this left-sided chest pain, and I notice my resting heart rate shoots up to around 100, even though it's usually about 70. It gets worse with any kind of light activity like walking or climbing stairs but seems to settle down after a few hours. I did have some heart tests, like an ECG, echo, and TMT about six months ago, and they all came back normal. My blood tests are fine toono anemia, high blood pressure, or sugar issues. Should I be considering any other tests or looking into something else? Its starting to worry me.
