A high level of CRP in the blood is a marker of any condition that causes inflammation, from an upper respiratory infection to cancer. High CRP levels can indicate that there is inflammation in the arteries of the heart, which can mean a higher risk for heart attack
Increases in other conditions like:
Acute or chronic inflammatory conditions
Tissue necrosis or tissue injury
Ischemia or infarction of issues
Infection, inflammation
Metabolic syndrome
Malignant tumors especially of breast, lung and gastrointestinal tract
You don't need to panic , instead visit a physician with your reports who will examine you and determine the next course of action
