Suggest Remedy For Shortness Of Breath, Fatigue And Nausea When ESR Count Is 31

I was looking at a couple of lab test that my practitioner had me do in march and July 2015. I notice that on both test dates my CRP was 1.3 and my ESR was at 31. He has not recommended any further testing. I have read on this online. I am now very concerned, because I have several of the symptoms listed on the condition s that are listed. I have pain on all my joints, shortness of breath, fatigue, light headedness, nausea, etc. I just feel ill all the time. I have suspected that there is something wrong with me.He indicated that I have arthritis, but not rheumatoid arthritis. Am I correct to think that he should have requested further testing? Please advise ASAP.

Hello,

Pain in joints, shortness of breath, fatigue, light headedness, nausea accompanied by high ESR can be due to chronic inflammation. Arthritis is a chronic inflammation which can affect various joints. I suggest you to consult a rheumatologist for clinical assessment and correct diagnosis of arthritis.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
