Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
There are many causes of high esr. Tuberculosis, infection, anemia, autoimmune disease, paraprotienemia, malignancies all can lead to high esr. You should search the cause first. You should go for complete blood count, x ray chest and ANA test. It will give you idea regarding cause. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
