The medications you're taking do not directly affect your ESR reading. If you're concerned about an elevated ESR or related symptoms (such as fever, unexplained weight loss, joint pain, etc.), it would be best to discuss this with your healthcare provider. They can assess the root cause of your symptoms and whether further testing or adjustments to your treatment plan are necessary.

Question

I've been hearing these cracking noises from my knees and ankles for a while now, and I was just brushing it off. But lately, I've started noticing the same sounds coming from my chest whenever I stretch, and I'm feeling some pain with it too. It's got me a bit concerned. Could this be something serious? What do you think might be going on?

Question

I'm having this pain in my mid-chest, but it only happens with certain movements. I've talked to a bunch of doctors about it, even had some tests like an ECHO done, but everything seems normal. They mentioned it might be muscular pain or something called costochondritis. How long does something like this usually take to feel better? I'm really scared to even pick up my kid right now. Everyone has just suggested using Volini gel. Do you have any home remedies in mind that might help with this?
