Hi everyone,
I recently had some tests done and the CRP came back high ( 40s). Doctors don't seem to sure what's causing it. I was also diagnosed with inappropriate sinus tachycardia, basically my heart rate was over a 100 for resting and would go further up just from standing up (POTS like symptoms) and was considered the cause for my suddenly elevated diastolic BP (95) systolic was not higher than 135ish. The cardiologist thinks my shortness of breath from minor exertion was from the high heart rate. It's gone down since I have been on the beta blocker but not entirely. I can't even say it's weight related because I was heavier months back and had no such issue. I am taking a small dose of a beta blocker which has lowered my diastolic and resting heart rate.
I am honestly clueless as to what's causing the high CRP. Obesity related inflammation usually has the results between 3 and 10ish (from what I am reading) but mine is quite a bit higher, yet nonspecific and not high enough to show a serious infection (of which I'd have symptoms too..but don't).
Did anyone here have a high CRP that turned out to be obesity related by any chance? Any other info would also be appreciated.
