Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
A blood test reveals that I have an ESR of 37 and I am experiencing pain and stiffness in the fingers of my right hand. I had high cholesterol and was taking 10mg Lipitor. The Lipitor was increased to 20mg. and it seemed soon after I started experiencing noises in my head. However, I am wondering whether the noises in my head could also be attributed to the high ESR..
