My HS CRP level is 7.4, which seems pretty high. Why might it be elevated, and is there anything I can do about it? Im really concerned and would love some guidance.

I'm experiencing some discomfort and I'm a bit worried. I've had pain on my left chest and left hand for about a week now. I went for a check-up, did an ECG and cholesterol test, but nothing was found. The doctor mentioned it might be a muscle problem and gave me some medicine. However, I still feel this glittering sensation on my left chest and arm. And when I go to the bathroom, it takes a lot of effort and makes me uncomfortable. There's also some swelling around my left chest and near my left hand. Can you help me understand what might be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle pain and possibly some inflammation in the chest and left hand. The glittering sensation could be due to nerve irritation. The difficulty in passing stool may be related to muscle strain or weakness. I recommend taking a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) 10mg twice daily for muscle pain. Additionally, you can take an anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen 400mg three times a day for the inflammation. For the swelling, you can try applying a cold compress and elevating the affected area. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.
