Question 1

How can I reduce the ESR level in pregnancy?

Question 2

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.

Question 3

I had COVID a few months ago and tested negative after 14 days. Today, I received my COVID vaccination, as 3 months had passed since recovery. I have been experiencing chest pain in the upper and middle areas, and my doctor said it is likely muscular. He also took a blood sample for a CBC test. I am attaching my report for review. My ESR is 22 mm/hr (normal range 0 to 20). Is this concerning?

What is the reason for a high-level ESR 40?

An increased ESR may be due to arthritis, systemic conditions, bone infections and certain heart conditions may cause ESR levels to rise.
