Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your CRP is very well with in the normal range and nothing to worry in it. Very high CRP values seen in rheumatic heart disease and in that case the values will be above 50. In your case there is no cardiac risk and no need to worry at all. You can do an echocardiogram just for reassurance.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
