High levels of CPK

High levels of CPK

My dearest friend found herself in the E.R. last night with great pain and heaviness in her right arm and a strange chemical taste in her mouth.  After an EKG & blood tests, the doctors advised that she has very high levels of CPK in her blood.  A CAT scan came back with no abnormalities shown.  She is a bit overweight and takes medication for high blood pressure and a low dosage anti-depressant.  Any ideas for a source or reason for the high CPK would be appreciated as the doctors in the E.R. could only recommend that she see a neurologist within the next 4-5 days.
