a) running after a raised ESR is a non-scientific approach
b) asking for any comment on any test or symptom without a compkete medical history, examinatiin and evaluation is pointless, useless and incapable of yielding any meaningful answer.

its a very non specific thing so you cant tell the cause straightaway.You need to have a checkup with history examination and further workup.
anemia could be one of the cause as is any infection or some other inflammatory process

ESR can be raised in multiples diseases . It is not specific you should worry if you don’t have any problem. For satisfaction you need to get checked by trained physician
In medicine history comes first followed by clinical examination and than investigations. Thus clinical evaluation is nessessory so visit a physician. No short cut in medicine.
