High CRP: C-reactive protein (CRP) is a measure of inflammation in your body. Your level of 8 does put you at higher cardiovascular risk. There are many possible causes for high crp, including infection & autoimmune diseases -- can also relate to other cv risk factors like smoking, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, increased cholesterol, hypertension and metabolic syndrome. Please discuss w/your doctor.

Stress: Any stress -- physical or emotional, pain, headaches -- these would raise your crp.
