I'm really worried because my HSCRP levels are high, and I'm taking vaso. What kind of risks should I be aware of, and who should I talk to about this?

High levels of hs-CRP (C-reactive protein) indicate inflammation in the body, which can be a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. Vaso refers to vasculitis, which is inflammation of the blood vessels. It is important to manage these conditions to reduce the risk of complications. You should consult with a Rheumatologist for the vasculitis and a Cardiologist for the high hs-CRP levels. The Rheumatologist may prescribe medications such as Prednisone for vasculitis, while the Cardiologist may recommend medications like Atorvastatin to lower cholesterol and reduce inflammation in the blood vessels.
