View allI've been having really bad head pain for the last 2 weeks. I got a blood test done, and it shows my ESR level is 72.1. I've attached the blood report here. Can you help me understand why it's so high? What could be the issue here, and which doctor should I talk to for this?
A high ESR level can indicate inflammation in the body, which could be due to various reasons such as infection, autoimmune diseases, or certain types of cancer. In your case, the high ESR level may be related to the underlying cause of your severe head pain. To address this issue, you can consult a Neurologist for further evaluation and management of your head pain. In the meantime, you can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. However, it is important to follow up with a Neurologist for a comprehensive assessment and appropriate treatment plan.
