Hi doctors, I did my regular blood report which came normal, but my ESR was 25 mm. I do not have any symptoms nor have I had any infection recently. Why is it high if the normal range is 0 to 15? Please suggest. Is it too high? I am worried.

Hello. I checked my mother blood. My mother is having pain in all her muscles. Her ESR blood report is 80 mm. Can you please tell me what the problem is?

I had COVID a few months ago and tested negative after 14 days. Today, I received my COVID vaccination, as 3 months had passed since recovery. I have been experiencing chest pain in the upper and middle areas, and my doctor said it is likely muscular. He also took a blood sample for a CBC test. I am attaching my report for review. My ESR is 22 mm/hr (normal range 0 to 20). Is this concerning?
