High hsCRP
In a recent full body blood test, i found my hscrp level as 2.87 mg/L, which i feel is moderately high. I have a history of high cholesterol but it's under control after using statin. My present levels are TC 145, LDL 70, HDL 47, TGL 110. My fasting sugar is 112. Blood pr normal- 115/75. Tmt was negative a year back. I have problem of GERD and hiatal hernia. I had a history of moderate smoking, which i left 1.5 years back. Alcohol- very rare. My lifestyle is bit sedentary. On average, i try to take 5000-6000 steps a day (includes ~ 2 km brisk walk). Work stress level is at higher side. I completely avoid junk and fried food and try to take as much as possible vegetables and fruits. I avoid red meat,  prefer fish and chicken. Should i be worried of this high hsCRP level? Your guidance will be highly appreciated. What should i do to reduce the level?
