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?

Isolated high ESR is non specific and could reflect infection, inflammation, or recent illness. Repeat after 2 to 4 weeks if no symptoms.
