You need to change your lifestyle. Take low fat diet with high amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Do regular exercise, regularly check your blood pressure and sugar. If you are over weight then reduce your weight. If you smoke then avoid it.
You should go for repeat hscrp once at interval of one month. Average of two hscrp value give you more idea. If still after a month your hscrp level remain high then you should contact your physician and start prophylactic treatment if required.
