High level HS-CRP

Question

High level HS-CRP

Asked for Male, 29 Years

My doctor did blood work for my annual physical and my hs CRP came back at 40. She informed me that this was mildly concerning because it could point to heart problems in the future. She seemed to lack a sense of urgency and every article I have read says that anything over 3 is an immediate high concern for heart problems. Any opinions on what my next move should be?
