A member asked:
Can allergies or a swollen eye from allergies increase sed rate? a week ago my sed rate was 8mm/hr, but after having an allergy attack, it was 13mm/hr
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not significant: The difference is really very small and may just represent the usual fluctuation in ESR and nothing more. Allergy attack is not linked to ESR changes.
