Not specific: ESR stands for erythrocyte sedimentation rate. It is a non-specific marker for inflammation. It can be elevated due to infection, immune reaction or sometimes in more serious problems like cancer. You need to work with your doctor to do more testing to find the cause of this increase in inflammation.

Nothing by itself: This test is meaningful only in the context of suspected illness. It's often done wrong. I'd stop worrying.

ESR: ESR is a non-specific test and can be increased in many many conditions such as inflammation, infection etc. It does not give any specific diagnosis. If you are concerned, see your doctor for complete check up.
