HIGH ESR AND CRP

2021-10-17 16:15:09
My blood test shows high levels of ESR (32mm) and c reactive protein(8.37mg). I just had a chronic cough for which my doctor prescribed these tests. I also do have recurrent UTI's and fibromyalgia. I am scared and anxious. I can't stop worrying.

Both these parameters  can be raised in various types of infections. Get a physician/pulmonologist consult for cough and infection. Get a consult with a pain physician to re assess for fibromyalgia.
