Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
After reviewing the medical data I would like to say that you have slightly elevated CK and LDH levels.
First of all the result are slightly elevated and you shouldn't worry about that.
Secondly the high levels aren't necessary related to cardiac problems, because these two enzymes aren't cardiac specific.
Thirdly these findings most probably are related to viral infection and myositis. Viral infection (even common flue) can cause such a findings.
If you were my patients in order to relieve your concerns I would recommend to do CK-MB fraction of CK which is cardiac specific.
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
