I'm experiencing something strange with my fingers, and I'm hoping you could help figure out what's going on. Sometimes in a week, my right hand middle finger shows a range from 93 to 95 or from 98 to 94. But when I check my left middle finger or any other finger, it's always between 97 and 100. This inconsistency has got me really puzzled. Could there be any reason why my right middle finger is showing these changes while the others aren't? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

View allI'm a bit concerned because my ESR is 50 mmhr. Can you help me understand what that might indicate? I'm planning to see my doctor later today, but I'd love to get some insight in the meantime.
An ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) of 50 mmhr indicates an elevated level, which can be a non-specific marker of inflammation in the body. It is often used as a screening test to help diagnose conditions associated with acute and chronic inflammation, such as infections, autoimmune diseases, and certain types of cancer. However, it is important to note that an elevated ESR alone is not diagnostic of any specific condition and further evaluation is usually needed. Since you are already planning to see your doctor in the evening, it would be best to discuss your ESR results with them. They will be able to interpret the result in the context of your overall health, medical history, and any other symptoms you may be experiencing.

I've just found out that I've got a positive ASO titre in my test results, and it's freaking me out a bit. I've been dealing with joint pain, and my doctor recommended some tests, including the RA factor and ASO titre, and while the RA came back normal, the ASO titre was positive. I tried reading up on what ASO is online, but I'm still not clear on how and why it happens. Is it something really serious? Like, could it really mess with my joints and heart valves? I'm just really anxious about what all this means for my health. Any insights would be super helpful.
ASO titre comes positive in many cases,one among them is heart disease, don't worry maintain healthy lifestyle, visit your doctor for complete evaluation and appropriate management
