Hi doctors, I did my regular blood report which came normal, but my ESR was 25 mm. I do not have any symptoms nor have I had any infection recently. Why is it high if the normal range is 0 to 15? Please suggest. Is it too high? I am worried.

ESR of 25 is mildly elevated and non specific. It can be raised due to minor inflammation or even stress. If no symptoms, no active infection is likely. Repeat an ESR and CRP after 10 days to monitor.
