You need to know what's causing high protein in your blood. It could be a form of blood cancer. Nothing to play with.

The plasma proteins include albumin and globulins. If you were dehydrated at the time of blood sampling then the serum albumin can appear elevated. This will correct with fluid repletion. If globulins show as elevated then exact basic causation needs to be determined. Possible causations include major allergies with elevated immunoglobulin IGE. Other causes include autoimmune diseases with elevated IGG and lymphocyte plasma cell overproduction of gamma globulin due to myeloma and variants. So deeper assessments are then required.
Depends on what protein. If it is globulins, this could be due to an inflammatory or even malignant disease such as myeloma.
It may be a sign of multiple myeloma. If so your physician should refer you to a medical oncologist. There is no known way otherwise to lower protein in your blood
