I'm really concerned about high uric acid levels, and I'm curious if there's a permanent way to manage or even cure it. My friend's level is around 8, and I'm wondering what kind of diet changes might help. Also, is there any effective treatment in alternative medicine for this?

Question

I recently got my lab test results back and saw that my ESR is at 68. I'm feeling pretty anxious about it. Is this something I should be worried about, and what could it possibly mean?

I'm a 50-year-old woman and recently had a blood check-up done. My ESR came back at 60mm, but everything else like renal function, urine routine, and blood tests are normal, and I don't have any other health issues. I'm curious about what could be causing the high ESR. Can you help me understand why it might be elevated?

Question

I'm trying to make sense of my blood report, and I'm a bit worried. It showed 60mmhr ESR and 45 lymphocytes. I learned a bit about ESR, but I'm not sure what steps I should take next. I've also been dealing with sinusitis, headaches at the back of my head, shoulder pain, and occasional dizziness that makes walking tough. My urine test came out normal, but I'm unsure what other tests I should consider. Could you help guide me on what to do next?
