Worried about Blood test Results

I have been worried since I was asked to redo Blood test, I phoned up when I got letter and asked why they told me that it was all normal but my  ESR was abnormal. and doctor wants to discuss it with me over phone next Friday the only test on this new blood sample form was for Folate and B12, Googling esr has made me worried it could be something serious, I cant understand why he wants to wait over a week to talk to me about them

    Please dont worry.   If it was serious your doctor would be talking to you right now or sending you off to hospital. Do you know if the B12 and Folate were normal? If they are low it could mean you are anaemic and this can affect the ESR.
