blood work back- looks like chest pain related to infection of some kind

I got my bloodwork back. my crp was 8, which means a high risk of heart attack, or infection with a cold, flu, etc. my iron values were all low. My hemoglobin was 10.4 (normal 11.7 - 15.5). my feeling is that my body had an infection and was restricting the absorption of iron so as not to feed bacteria growing from the infection. what kind of bacteria? h. pylori overgrowth? anyway, my lipid values were excellent: total cholesterol 190, HDL 88, LDL 92, tri's 51. in a month i will be tested again for crp, iron, and vitamin d level (if my insurance will pay for it).

vitamin d at 19 is when the cold sore/infection/colds start

i have my threshold for vitamin d deficiency causing cold sores/infections= 19. 19 was what i just got on my lab test. now i am back to religiously using my vitamin d lamp. does anyone have a brand of d3 that they like or that i should definitely stay away from? so anyway, i went from 25 in august and being out in the sun all summer to 19 in the beginning of february. now i am thinking that the only reason i was 25 and not higher is because i must have started the 2014 season (when the sun is strong enough to help generate vita d) extremely low. i have a lot of moles on my back and arms, so i direct the light at my legs and use sunblock for the one or two moles/freckles there.

chest pain night before period: printzmetal's angina? acute pericarditis precipitated by herpes virus? etc

I had my worst chest pain yet at 2 am right below my sternum and i could feel the tightening. it went away after a couple minutes. i checked my blood sugar at the time, and it was around 103. i wasn't having a hot flash. that was the night of day 23 of my cycle. on day 24 my period came. i did some research that shows when estradiol levels are low, from the end of the luteal phase to the beginning of menstruation, women can have a coronary vasospasm. there may be heart disease present to varying degrees, or there may be no heart disease. the attack usually comes between 12 am and 8 am. I posted before about chest pain that occurred during my period. i thought it was caused by dehydration. i do not believe i was dehydrated during this latest bout. i didn't have constipation and my lips weren't chapped. my health has been good all winter except for this month. on 2/6 i saw the beginnings of a cold sore and started with abreva right away. on 2/9 (2am) i had that bad chest pain. my body is becoming stressed out- maybe whatever vita d i had is at the tipping point for being low as i was only 25 (low already) in august, and i don't supplement. today i started using my sperti vita d lamp. i will use it 3 times a week for 5 minutes each time per the instructions. not included in the instructions, but out of caution, i put sunscreen on my one mole and all freckles on my front legs (i am directing the lamp on my legs only). as the light shines on my legs, i move back and forth to avoid the light frying one spot continuously. next time i will shine the light on the back of my legs as you are supposed to change body areas. i always use the goggles to protect my eyes from the UV radiation. i am going to make an appointment with my family doctor and have yearly blood work done. the last time i had chest pain, i went to a cardiologist and was evaluated with a stress test. he found nothing wrong, but a stress test i have since learned won't rule out printzmetal's angina. i also have baby aspirin around the house and if my family doctor doesn't prescribe nitroglycerin, i will take 4 baby aspirins. when my mom had a bad bout of chest pain and went to the ER, they gave her 3 baby aspirin, and i've read that this is a viable strategy for dealing with the pain. i will also stop tutoring after school as this is a source of stress i can control. cold weather is also know to bring on printzmetal angina, but there is nothing i can do about that at the moment. i will also cut down on trying to eat high fat as i feel some discomfort after a particularly high fat meal. someone suggested to me that i may have a gallbladder issue. seeing how the chest pain followed closely on the cold sore development, i googled herpes and chest pain and got a hit for acute pericarditis. i guess i will know if this is a possibility if a cold sore and chest pain are linked in the future. but if i get chest pain before my next period again, then it is more likely related to low estrogen.
