Is there a difference in total lipid profile results when a test is done fasting versus non-fasting? A week ago, I got my lipid profile checked and all the parameters were within the range. But after taking another blood test post-meal seven days later, the values were outside the desired range. Could you guide me on whether fasting or non-fasting results are more accurate?

There won't be much variation, ideally fasting results and considered to be valid, In your scenario, that could be lab error also, visit your doctor for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm curious about whether my resting heart rate is okay. I'm at 84 BPM, and I've read that's normal for my age and weight. Should I consider getting any further check-ups, or do you think it's all good?

I'm a 28-year-old female, and in my recent blood test, my high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) level came back really high at 9.95. I'm worried because I know that's way above the normal range. Is this something I should be seriously concerned about?
