Just to reasure you if it will my c reactive protein level as been slightly raised for years and I mean years it was first noted as raised when I had my Son and he is now at Uni .
I was too at 25 it was only a slight raise and I don't think I have ever had one off under10 my Drs told me its just an indicator there may be some infection or inflammation they also stated it can raise due to a bit of a cold and I have a bone condion and this could also be a cause if I have any inflammation going on .

So please don't worry about that okay I am still here 19 years later.
Hope that helps a little .

thank you hun i am not sure if it has been raised before :(
i spoke to the doctor on the phone he said he wasnt worried but try getting someone with healthy anxiety to accept that x

If your doctor isn't worried then really what that means is that although it's slightly higher it's still within acceptable levels.
Have a word with your doctor to clarify why he thinks it's nothing to worry about, a longer explanation may alleviate your worries.
He may say "I see results like these all the time which is why there is nothing to worry about"

Mine has been raised since I was in my mid 20s. I'm 32 now. Had a full body ct scan last year and it was completely clear.
