What does it mean if my ESR is 35?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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?
