What Causes CPK Of 1000 In Blood Tests?

I recently had an episode of profuse sweating, very bad. I mentioned it to the doctor and he drew blood. He called me in to repeat the lab work because my CPK was 1000. I have not heard the results of the second test yet. What does this mean. The MD said it was my heart, brain or muscle and said he would call. I am 55 male 6' 3" and 390 lbs, with an inactive life style.

Hello dear,
CPK is a creatine phosphokinase enzyme.
It has a three form
CK-BB: released from brain
CK-MB:heart and skeletal muscle
CK-MM: skeletal muscle.
Normal values are usually between 60 and 174 IU/L.
It is rise in muscle injury, myocardial infraction, rhabdomyolysis, myocarditis.
It may be rise after exercise and muscle contraction during collection of blood.
So please repeat the test for both CPK total and specific form of it.
Hope this advice may help you.
take care.
Thank you.
