Hypertension and high hs-crp

2021-01-14 17:05:11
Hi doctor, I had slight palpitation when lying so done general blood test and ecg 2d echo. Ldl -80, hdl-28, Ha1bc-6 , cholestrol normal. Hs-crp .58 mg/dl. I bp was 140/90 and ech/2d echo report says grade 1lv diastolic dys . I consulted doctor and he says it might be because of stree/ anxiety and prescribed metola r xr. Told to use them for sometime and can be removed once bp normalise. Is grade 1 lv is serious? Why mu hs-crp is elevated. Is hs-crp related to heart only or any other inflamation? Thanks

Hi. hsCRP can be raised in any infection or inflammation also. In echo it's left ventricular relaxation abnormality nothing to worry now. Check BP regularly and if it's above 140/90 take medicine regularly.
