What to do for abnormal ESR?
Patient: Just received my blood work from my doctor from my physical. I am 52 years old and have been having issues with inflammation for quite some time now. All my blood work is normal except my ESR.I exercise, and have been eating healthier. What do you suggest I can eat or take to get this rate to normal. Debbie Doctor: ESR is an investigation which indicates the status of inflammation in our body. High ESR means that chances of active inflammation are there in the body. In my opinion you should continue the treatment for inflammation, cure of inflammation will automatically normalize the ESR. There is nothing in particular to eat by which you can reduce the ESR. I will just advise you to continue eating healthy food and increase the amount of vagetables and fruits in your eatable items.
