Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your esr remains high. There are many causes of high esr. Tuberculosis, anemia, infection, autoimmune diseases, malignancies, paraprotienemia etc causes high esr.
In your case you may have autoimmune disease or anemia. You should investigate. Many time many healthy people have high esr without any known causes. So don't worry if you don't find any cause.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
