crp test means - #17591

A few weeks ago, I started feeling really off—constant fatigue, random joint pain, and a weird heaviness in my body. At first, I thought maybe I was just overworking myself, but then I noticed some swelling in my hands and knees. It wasn’t anything extreme, but enough to make me uncomfortable. Since this had been going on for a while, I finally decided to get some tests done. When my blood test results came in, my doctor told me my CRP test means that there’s inflammation in my body. The number was higher than normal, but he didn’t explain exactly what was causing it. He just said it could be due to an infection, autoimmune issue, or even chronic stress. Now I’m stuck wondering what’s actually wrong with me. I don’t have a fever or anything obvious, so I don’t understand why my CRP levels are high. Could this be linked to my diet or lifestyle? I started looking into Ayurveda because I want to treat the root cause instead of just taking anti-inflammatory pills. Does Ayurveda have ways to naturally lower CRP levels? Are there herbs or specific dietary changes that help with this kind of inflammation? Also, could stress alone cause this? My sleep has been really bad for the last few months, and I have a habit of eating late at night. Could that be making things worse? If anyone has dealt with high CRP levels before, did Ayurvedic remedies actually help? How long does it take to bring the levels back to normal? And are there any signs I should watch out for that might indicate a bigger problem? I’d really appreciate any advice on this because I don’t want to ignore it and let it turn into something serious.
