so you are having high blood pressure and cholesterol, also diabetic so at higher for heart disease.
do u have any chest pain or heaviness especially on exertion.
CRP can be elevated in any inflammation like viral illness or any infection. but if no other infection or disease is there then it points towards heart disease so if u have any chest pain or even if not you can get your stress test done. Also take proper medicine for sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure. avoid addiction and healthy lifestyle, regular exercises.
