It can be slightly raised if you have an active illness. Consult with a doctor to find out what is causing it.

My recent blood test report shows an ESR value of 16. Is this a cause for concern? Could it indicate a possible COVID infection? Please advise.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am a 43 year old female suffering from knee pain, joint pain, muscle pain, tiredness, and drowsiness for the past week. As per the latest blood report, ESR is 39 and thyroid is 0.92. What may be the reason? Whom should I contact?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Her ESR is high, and her hemoglobin is not constant. Her hemoglobin is 10.5 now. Is there any specific reason for the high ESR? How serious is it?
