Question 1

I was diagnosed with H. pylori, which caused an ulcer. I also have chronic non atrophic gastritis, lax cardia, GERD, and piles. Due to these issues, I have lost 12 kg. I delivered my second baby in January 2020, and these problems started around April/May. My first child is 3 years old. I have been on medication for the past 10 months, but still do not feel fully relieved. Recently, I did a CBC with ESR test, and some values were slightly abnormal. My PCT should be less than 0.28, but it is 0.33. Hemoglobin is 13.5 (previously 14.7 in November), lymphocytes are 49.7 percent, and my ESR increased from 2 to 20. Should I be concerned about these changes in my report? Do they indicate any serious problem?

Question 2

Sir, my ESR test result is 84 mm/hr. Could you please explain the possible reasons for such a high value, and what treatment or medicines might be recommended?

Question 3

I am a 43 year old female suffering from knee pain, joint pain, muscle pain, tiredness, and drowsiness for the past week. As per the latest blood report, ESR is 39 and thyroid is 0.92. What may be the reason? Whom should I contact?

How can I reduce the ESR level in pregnancy?

One can start with low impact exercises during pregnancy such as water aerobics, yoga and strength training. In addition, also consume meals cooked in olive oil to reduce ESR levels during pregnancy.
