Could Inflammation Of Abdomen Cause Elevation In CRP Levels?

I have been diagnosed with esophagitis and have been taking Dexilant. That condition is much better. However, during my regular physical, my C Reactive Protein was 8.5. this alarmed me since I have been having migraines way too often. My blood pressure and cholesterol are OK, so I wondered if the inflammation of the esophagus could have affected the CRP #?



Thanks!
