I'm really worried about my friend's situation. She has a high ESR, but it's been consistently at 92. The doctor at Apollo said she has TB, but her ESR hasn't changed. Can you help me understand what's going on with her?

I'm currently working at a thermal power plant where I'm regularly exposed to a lot of dust. During the summer, I experience some mild breathing issues, but it gets worse in the winter when my nostrils and chest feel completely blocked. Do you have any suggestions for managing or preventing this?
