Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Mental stress is not a cause of rise in CK. It's level can increase in muscular disorders. But your level is only slightly high. So no need to worry. Just be relaxed.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
