Esr (westergren) 29mm/1st hr.i m female 25.i am perfectly normal no symptoms of any disease.what could be the cause of high esr? shud i b worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ESR: This is a totally non-specific measure of possible inflammation but in the absence of any symptoms my advice is to ignore the result and go on doing what you were before the test was run. Without a clinical indication it has no meaning. Good luck.
