Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that ESR is nonspecific marker of inflammation. So there must be some inflammation in your body. In India the most common cause of raised ESR is tuberculosis so you can rule out such type of cause.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
Infectious disease specialist.
Wish you a best health at health care magic.
