I had my first blood test 3 years ago, which revelaed a very high ESR level of 78. Since then, I have had more blood tests to keep an eye on my ESR levels, but they are always between 53 and 78. My chest Xray has come back clear to rule out TB. As I have no symptoms of illness, my doctor feels that there isnt much more he can advise me on. I am worried about the things I have found on the internet about the causes of high ESR (artheritis), but my doctor feels at the age of 26 I shoud not worry about this. I am curious to know if others have had ESR readings this high, and what was causing it. What should I do (or say to my GP) to find the cause?
