ESR 40 and above might indicate mild health conditions. ESR above 100 can indicate serious illnesses such as arthritis and polymyalgia. Consult with a doctor to know the root cause.

Which types of food should be avoided to control ESR?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi doctors, I did my regular blood report which came normal, but my ESR was 25 mm. I do not have any symptoms nor have I had any infection recently. Why is it high if the normal range is 0 to 15? Please suggest. Is it too high? I am worried.
