Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
There is no test which can say that your body has 65% inflammation.
I suppose you are talking about ESR.
If it is ESR, then 65 is actually high.
It can be due to Active Lupus.
You should get investigated:
1. Hemogram with ESR
2. CRP, ANA, R-Factor
3. Chest Xray.
4. Anti Ds DNA
5. Urine for Albumin.
Get investigated and treated.
This is my best advice for you with the available details, if you have any further query, please ask us.
Stay Healthy
