Does Elevation In The ESR Level Cause Heavy And Puffy Feeling In The Face?

My ESR is 26. What diet and medicine should I take to normalize my esr. I used to have sudden hot on my left face and upper eyelid and makes the eye noticeable small and ugly looking followed by feeling of heaviness and puffy. Sometimes it goes away on its own but now its lasting for about a week. Is this the reason for my high ESR. I am 36 year old female. I have lost my confident to face people because of my weird looking left eye and cheek. My left eye has become very unattractive unlike my right eye .

Hi.

I am glad we connected.

There are some diseases which can cause increased ESR levels. ESR levels are usually increased with any types of inflammation. This may cause swelling over the face because of an infection over the face.

It would be tough to diagnose this without a blood test. Getting a complete blood count done would be a good idea. The blood picture would show white blood cell count increase in this.

I hope this helps. All the best.
