What Causes High ESR And Lymphocyte Levels?
My sister got extreme headache some days back.It was such severe that she was taken to a clinic and the doctor gave some nerve relaxation pills and then she felt alright. Doctors tested and then said it was migrain. But medical tests confirmed high level of ESR and lymphocyte. What can be the cause?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. High ESR suggests severe inflammation.
2. She needs to get her C-reactive protein levels evaluated along with chest x-ray and serum gamma globulins levels. Possibility of temporal arteritis needs to be kept in mind.
3. If it responding well to therapy, its good. Long term therapy is needed for migraine.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
