What Does My Blood Test Report Indicate?
Question: I am 37yrs old , female. weight 68kg. I had a Complete Blood count done yesterday because I suffer from health anxiety.
All the functions such as liver, kidney, glucose, Cholestrol , White blood cells, Red blood cells, liver, Lipids, Bone screening, Thyroid T3, T4 all are totally normal.
Only CPR is 30 while it should be below 3 and ESR is 27 while it should be between 0 - 20.
I do feel exhausted like a cold feeling... And my musles of upper back are extremely sore. I am taking ibuprofen.
Should I be worried about this CPR?
