Hi I have esr wintrobe value of 35 while my hb , tlc & dlc values are normal. The doctor has advised me for these tests after I started seeing floaters in my eyes along with dryness. However now I am off any medications after my opthalomologist has told that there is nothing wrong . Pls advise what does the elevated esr means in my case
