I'm a bit worried because I recently had a routine health checkup, and my HSCRP levels were 13.5, which is higher than the normal range. I take Eltroxin 100 daily. Could you let me know what steps I should take or if there's anything specific I should be concerned about with these results?

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels can indicate inflammation in the body. Since your hsCRP level is elevated, it is important to address it. You can consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg daily to help reduce inflammation and lower your hsCRP levels. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management can also be beneficial in lowering inflammation markers in the body.
