Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Increased ESR is a sign of chronic disease running in your body and as you have history of weight loss, you should go for thorough check up.
Kindly mention other symptoms if you have.
You should also consult with physician and go for following investigations: CBC, CRP, thyroid profile, renal function test, chest x ray, ultrasound imaging as preliminary test.
Thanks,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
