View allI've got a CRP level of 55.4 mgL, and I know that's pretty high. I have MVP and MR but no symptoms. What's going on with the CRP? Should I be worried? Any advice on what I should do next?
In the case of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and mitral regurgitation (MR), an elevated CRP level of 55.4 mgl could be due to the presence of inflammation related to these conditions. Since you are not experiencing any symptoms, it is important to monitor your condition closely. To help manage inflammation and potentially reduce CRP levels, you can consider taking anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg twice daily after meals. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet can also help in managing inflammation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your MVP and MR, as they can provide personalized recommendations based on your individual health status.

I've been experiencing some chest pain on the left side, right above my heart. It happened for a few minutes, but then it went back to normal. The same thing occurred about six months ago. I'm a bit concerned and would love to get your suggestions on what might be going on and how I can deal with this issue.
Based on your description of chest pain above the heart that comes and goes, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. However, considering the pain is brief and has occurred before, it could be due to muscle strain or inflammation in the chest wall. I recommend taking a pain reliever such as Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may help relax the muscles. If the pain persists or worsens, further evaluation by a healthcare professional is advised.

I'm a bit worried because every time I laugh, my chest hurts for a short while. I had COVID back in April and was in quarantine for 16 days. I hadn't smoked or had any drinks for a month after that, but I've started again recently. Could this be causing the chest pain?
