A high ESR (62) with weight loss, fever, and feeling uneasy needs evaluation. Possible causes include infection (like TB), inflammation, or other medical conditions. It is important to consult a doctor soon. Do a CBC, Chest X ray, and CRP test to check for infection or inflammation. Further tests may be needed based on these reports.

Question

For the past three months, I have been experiencing occasional chills, fever, breathing difficulties, and body pain. During this time, I underwent multiple tests, including blood and urine tests, viral markers, HIV, Widal test, urine routine, CS for MP, HGM, ESR, PFT, HCV, thyroid, and malaria screening. All of which came back normal except for my ESR, which was elevated at 28 mm per hr (normal range 15 to 20 mm per hr). I would appreciate your advice on what this elevated ESR might indicate and whether any further tests are necessary. I have attached the test reports for your reference.
