Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Raised ESR is not a disease but an indication that underlying disease is present. ESR is elevated in case of chronic inflammation like tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis etc. Since, you have a history of respiratory problem in the past, there is possibility of respiratory problem which is causing raised ESR. Consult your treating doctor to look for cause of raised ESR. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
