Hi, my mother is running fever 99.4 almost regularly for the last 1 month. we have got done all the tests but nothing significant came up. she had a UTI but now that is completely cured and her Urine Routine and Urine culture reports are normal. She had High lipid . Her cholestrol is 272,Tryglycerides are 153 and TLC is 0000 and ESR -40 which are high as per the reports. also she has slight tingling sensation in her legs and left arm. Please help me understand that if the fever and Tingling could be because of High cholestrol . Is ESR high because of the High Cholestrol levels.

Hello
Fever and tingling are not because of high cholesterol.
High cholesterol generally doesn't cause any symptoms.
Your continuous low grade fever may be there because of some deep seated infection and requires further investigation in form of CT chest and CT abdomen.
Tuberculosis is a very important cause for low grade fever and therefore should be kept in mind as a possible cause for this fever.Get ELISA for TB done along with CT of chest and abdomen.
your high ESR is because of continuos fever and not because of high cholesterol.
Thanks
