  5. I'm a bit concerned about my hs-CRP levels because they came back at 1 mgL. Is that considered high for my age? I'm wondering how I can lower it. Also, I noticed my CRP level is only 0.13 mgdL, which seems good. How often should I be checking these, along with my lipid profile?

I'm a bit concerned about my hs-CRP levels because they came back at 1 mgL. Is that considered high for my age? I'm wondering how I can lower it. Also, I noticed my CRP level is only 0.13 mgdL, which seems good. How often should I be checking these, along with my lipid profile?

"Hs-CRP level of 1 mgl is considered to be low risk for cardiovascular disease. To reduce it further, you can consider incorporating lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management. In some cases, medications like Atorvastatin 10mg daily can also help lower hs-CRP levels. For your CRP level of 0.13 mgdl, it is within the normal range. To maintain this level, continue with a healthy lifestyle. As for how often to repeat these tests along with lipid profile, it is generally recommended to repeat them annually for routine monitoring, unless your doctor advises otherwise based on your individual health status."
