Hello Smith, A raised ESR has several reasons:1. Anemia or low He that makes it high2. Raised total protein3. Infection or inflammation in the body provided this was repeated at some stage. Just one high value does not mean much as it could be a transit problem with the sample. With your fast pulse rate, either you are having some sort of infection or because you have anemia and iron-deficiency anemia is quite common. Please see your doctor for a complete blood count (that will tell your He levels), Fe levels, TSH, LFT, CRP (measure of infection) and a physical check to ensure there is no active focus of infection. Several hematological disorders are possible and a visit to the doctor is definitely indicated.
