It is erythrocyrte sedimentation rate which goes up in varied health problems. 34 is not a very alarming rise which needs attention. Mild common health problems can give rise to this much increase in ESR to which we do not give importance. Adequate hydration and care of any unattended problem will make the ESR normal.
