High ESR common in anemia, infection. Not serious alone, needs monitoring. Eat iron rich foods, stay hydrated. Do CRP, Iron Profile, CBC repeat in 1 month.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a Iron Studies Test Test

Why is ESR higher in females?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am a 43 year old female suffering from knee pain, joint pain, muscle pain, tiredness, and drowsiness for the past week. As per the latest blood report, ESR is 39 and thyroid is 0.92. What may be the reason? Whom should I contact?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My blood report for an insurance policy showed high ESR. The policy is on hold. I am not concerned about the policy, but what should be done next on a personal health front?
