Very high ESR suggests inflammation, infection, or autoimmune disease. Needs evaluation for polymyalgia rheumatica or rheumatoid arthritis.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a RA Factor Test (Rheumatoid Factor) Test

Book CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test Book RA Factor Test (Rheumatoid Factor) Test

What does ESR 48 mean?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I had COVID a few months ago and tested negative after 14 days. Today, I received my COVID vaccination, as 3 months had passed since recovery. I have been experiencing chest pain in the upper and middle areas, and my doctor said it is likely muscular. He also took a blood sample for a CBC test. I am attaching my report for review. My ESR is 22 mm/hr (normal range 0 to 20). Is this concerning?

I have a high value of ESR 62 and I am losing weight day by day. I am having fever and feeling uneasy all the time?
