I'm really worried because my CRP Reactive Protein level has shot up to 29 mgDL. I read on Google that anything over 10 mgDL means a higher risk for heart attacks. Right now, I'm dealing with some unwanted swellings and really bad back pain. How can I bring this level down quickly? Would love some advice on this.

To help reduce your CRP level and manage the symptoms you are experiencing, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. It is important to also follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and manage stress to further improve your condition.

I've noticed that whenever I'm near an AC or when the weather gets cold, my hands and feet turn icy really fast. They get so chilly that other people comment on how cold they feel when I touch them. But when the weather is normal and there's no AC, everything seems fine. I'm curious about what could be causing this.

While in the vicinity of AC or cold weather, your hands and feet getting cold quickly could be due to a condition called Raynaud's disease. Raynaud's disease is a condition that causes some areas of the body, such as fingers and toes, to feel numb and cold in response to cold temperatures or stress. In such cases, it is recommended to keep your hands and feet warm by wearing gloves and socks, and avoiding exposure to cold temperatures. In severe cases, medications like nifedipine or amlodipine can be prescribed to help dilate blood vessels and improve circulation.
