Re: High ESR level found in my blood tests
ESR stands for erythrocyte sedimentation rate, which is a test that measures how quickly red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube in one hour. An elevated ESR level is usually indicative of inflammation in the body, but it does not pinpoint the exact cause of the inflammation.
There are many conditions that can cause a high ESR level, including infections, autoimmune disorders, and certain medications. It is essential to consult with your doctor to determine the underlying cause of your high ESR level and to receive appropriate treatment.
In the meantime, it's understandable to feel anxious about your health, but try not to jump to conclusions before receiving a proper diagnosis. Discuss your concerns with your doctor and ask any questions you may have. They are there to help you and guide you through the process.
