Elevated CRP: I'm not licensed in the US but suggest you need to see the emergency room to exclude serious causes. Have a look at this article here re causes of raised Creactive protein and whether any might apply. Safest to get examined quickly I think. http://patient.info/health/blood-tests-to-detect-inflammation

Nothing to be scared: Elevated C Reactive protein can be due to many causes.Whever there is inflammation in the body it causes C-reactive protein to go up.You have to follow up with your doctor to find out why he/ she ordered the test and what is the significance of it in your case. And why was your po2 low. Why was that test done also. It is not a test routinely done . We need more information. Ask these questions
