Four stages of congestive heart failure are Stage A, B, C, D. Stage A and B are pre heart failure stages when persons do not have symptoms but have predilection to heart failure such as Diabetes, Hypertension, obesity, alcohol abuse, heart blocks and family history of heart failure. Stage C is when persons have symptoms, diagnosed with heart failure and responding to treatment. Stage D is when persons have advanced symptoms that may not get better with treatment.

View allI've noticed my heart rate is jumping between 54 and 131. I'm a healthy 19-year-old, so is this normal? Should I be worried about these fluctuations?
Your fluctuating heart rate may be due to various factors. It's important to monitor your heart rate and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking propranolol 10mg twice daily to help regulate your heart rate. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm worried about my health since my hs-CRP is 3.60 and CRP is 4.20. Is this something I should be really concerned about and get treated right away? I had an angiogram back in December 2020, and everything came out normal then. Also, I've been dealing with high blood pressure and diabetes. Can you help me understand what these numbers mean?
Given your history of high blood pressure, diabetes, and previous angiogram, it is important to manage your CRP levels to reduce the risk of further complications. I recommend starting a statin medication like Atorvastatin 20mg daily to help lower your CRP levels and reduce inflammation in the arteries. Additionally, you should continue to manage your high blood pressure with medications like Amlodipine 5mg daily and control your diabetes with medications like Metformin 1000mg twice daily. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and weight management are also important in managing inflammation and reducing cardiovascular risk.
