I'm really curious about C-reactive protein. I heard it can indicate inflammation in the body, but I'm not entirely sure what it means for overall health. What are the possible ways to reduce its levels? Is there more information I should know about it? I'm kind of worried because I've been told my levels are a bit high.

I'm having this sharp pain in my right chest just below my breast for the past few days. It tends to get worse when I'm bending or making movements that involve that area, and sometimes I even feel it when I'm breathing heavily. I'm really worrieddo you think this could be something serious?

Question

I'm 24 and had typhoid fever about six months ago. Ever since, I've been feeling unusually cold, like I can't handle even a bit of cool weather, while everyone around me seems fine. Lately, I've been getting mild chest pains and sometimes, out of nowhere, I start shivering and getting goosebumps, even at normal room temperature. I feel sleepy all the time and get tired very quickly, even after light physical activity. Walking long distances has become challenging. I got married two months ago, and after the first few weeks everything was okay, but my health has been getting worse lately. I'm working but can't keep up like everyone else, and it's frustrating because even when it's not cold, I'm in a sweater and still can't shake off the chills. Why am I feeling like this, and should I be worried?

Question

I've been dealing with this constant headache and loose motion for the past 24 hours. The headache's not as bad as it was initially, but it's still there. Should I be concerned or is this just a temporary thing?
