Hi there...a haemoglobin level of 11.4 is nothing to worry about. It is common for Indian women to have low haemoglobin. You can take tablet prosfer plus for 1 month, daily one tablet after food. Also raised esr can be seen even in normal individuals. It is better you are clinically examined once for signs of any anemia or other diseases. So kindly consult ageneral physician for further evaluation.
