Raised ESR

[Janbo25]

Hi, I had my ds 6 months ago and ever since then I've not felt 100% I've always had some sort of achy pain in my chest but a blood clot as been ruled out and I have had an ECG which to appeared fine. However my ESR as remained raised apparently although not highly significantly only around 27 - 30. I also feel like i get heart palpatations now and again and cramp in my left arm, I'm not sure but think it may be worse whilst I am on my period, I am due to see the consultant later today but just wondered if anyone else has felt similar or any thing???

Many Thanks

I have a heart condition which causes dizziness and palpitations and it definitely gets worse with my period Have they checked the valves?Have you had an echo?

hi, thanks for replying they havn't checked my valves, but i will mention it today, what treatment do you have?? and when did it first start??

I have had 2 kidnet transplants and in the run up to the 2nd I started getting weird symptoms like you describe.They told me it ws anxiety but eventually did tests and discovered I had a heart condition I am maintained at present on tablets Doesn't a raised ESR indicate infection?

what other symptoms do you have or did you have???
I believe a raised ESR indicates some sort of inflamation
