Hi
ESR is a non-specific blood test...which means it can suggest some kind of issue with the body. But it cannot specify what issue.
It can be high even with mild cold and it can be high even with serious conditions like TB.
So, what symptoms you have alongwith high ESR is important.
If you don't have any symptoms, you probably don't have much to worry about right now.

ESR of 21 is borderline on a higher side. It indicates some kind of inflammatory reaction in the body.
Are you having any problem currently..
That needs to be ruled out..
