Hello There
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that yes your ESR is high and your symptoms can be due to anemia, jaundice or heart abnormality .
It is recommended for you to get CBC, LFT, ECG , Echocardiography and USG abdomen done and consult a physician with reports for further management.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
