Brief Answer:
hs-CRP alone is not significant towards a particular disease process

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I checked the reports.
Only hs CRP is raised and other heart disease markers are within normal limits.
I understand your anxiety towards raised hs CRP. However let me assure you this denotes only an inflammatory process but does not say at which location. We need more tests to determine that.
Looking at other tests you have Iron deficiency or blood loss anemia indicated by llow MCV, MCH levels. It needs to be corrected now. Anemia can cause raised hs CRP.
Sometimes anxiety triggers inflammation so do not be stressful about it. There are treatments for every problem.
