Finding the cause(s) of:

• Fatigue: Chronic inflammation, measured by CRP, can contribute to feelings of fatigue and weakness.
• Inflammation: This test directly measures C-Reactive Protein, a marker for inflammation in the body.
• Numbness: While CRP doesn't directly diagnose numbness, inflammation related to heart issues can sometimes contribute to circulatory problems causing numbness.
• Shortness of breath: Inflammation linked to heart conditions, detected by CRP, can contribute to shortness of breath.
• Weakness: Chronic inflammation, indicated by CRP levels, can lead to general feelings of weakness and fatigue.
