A member asked:
My respiratory rate is 18 and hs crp is 6.8. is this indicative of a cardiac issue or is it a sign of an infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither: A respiratory rate if 18 is not impressive unless there are more significant symptoms. The CRP value may be normal depending on the test used to measure it
