A member asked:

My esr is 33.what can i do to decrease it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing: This is a famously unreliable test in any case, with a lot of random variation from lab conditions. Only if it's way elevated does it mean anything at all, and even so, it's not something to be treated. Life's difficult enough without fretting over labs that are just general indicators of health.
