I'm a bit concerned about my recent full body check-up results. My hs-CRP level came back as 16.35, and I'm not sure what that means. Is this something I should be worried about? What could this high reading indicate in terms of my health? Would really appreciate some guidance.

Hs CRP reading of 16.35 indicates a high sensitivity C-reactive protein level in your blood. This marker is often used to assess inflammation in the body. A level above 10 mgL is considered high and may indicate inflammation due to various reasons such as infection, autoimmune disorders, or chronic diseases. It is important to further evaluate the underlying cause of this elevated level.

I'm a bit concerned about the results from my ECG. It shows an incomplete right bundle branch block (IRBBB) with a QRS duration of 114 ms. Should I be worried about this, and are there any additional tests I might need to consider?
Right Bundle Branch Block (IRBBB) or Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB) on an ECG can sometimes be a normal variant, especially in healthy individuals. However, it can also be associated with underlying heart conditions. Since your ECG shows IRBBB with a QRS duration of 114 ms, it is advisable to further evaluate this finding. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a comprehensive evaluation, which may include additional tests such as an echocardiogram, stress test, or Holter monitor. These tests can help determine the underlying cause of the IRBBB and assess your cardiac health. It is important to monitor this condition and follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to ensure proper management.

I'm experiencing this strange sensation in my chest, but it's not really painful. It's more like an odd feeling when I breathe, right below my throat and just above the breasts. Any idea what this could be?
The unusual sensation in your chest, described as a weird feeling when breathing, just below the throat and above the breasts, could be related to anxiety, acid reflux, or respiratory issues like asthma or bronchitis
