No need to worry: Those things can absolutely cause ESR to go up. That is not a specific test, it is a general measure of inflammation in the body. I would not worry at all.

Sed rate: Is a non-specific indicator of inflmmation and/or infection. It seems likely that it was the response to your previous infection.

I have had a sinus infection for over a year now. It is accompanied by a foul odor and green phlegm. Is this normal for a sinus problem? No fever.
Heart rate between 80-100 bpm even at rest. Normally 60-65 bpm at rest. What could cause this. I am sick with a sinus infection and low fever 99.5 could that raise heart rate?
I've had a low-grade fever for 3 months with esr>100. Every test under the sun (infections, connective tissue disorders, cancer) has turned up negative. Is it ok to just ignore & wait and see now?
