"Motion heart" is not a recognized medical term.

Consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate guidance based on your specific symptoms and medical history.
List some other conditions that erthrocyte sedimentation rate is used to monitor?
ESR is of limited use as a screening test in patients that do not have any symptoms. It is used in the diagnosis of disorders such as polymyalgia rheumatica, multiple myeloma, temporal arteritis, various auto-immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, as well as chronic kidney diseases. In many of these cases, the ESR may exceed 100 mm/hourIt is commonly used for a differential diagnosis for Kawasaki's disease and it may be increased in some chronic infective conditions like tuberculosis and infective endocarditis. It is a component of the PDCAI, an index for assessment of severity of inflammatory bowel disease in children.The clinical usefulness of ESR is limited to monitoring the response to therapy in certain inflammatory diseases such as temporal arteritis, polymyalgia rheumatica and rheumatoid arthritis. It can also be used as a crude measure of response in Hodgkin's lymphoma. Additionally, ESR levels are used to define one of the several possible adverse prognostic factors in the staging of Hodgkin's lymphoma. There is also a wintrobe method.The use of the ESR as a screening test in asymptomatic persons is limited by its low sensitivity and specificity. When there is a moderate suspicion of disease, the ESR may have some value as a "sickness index."An elevated ESR in the absence of other findings should not trigger an extensive laboratory or radiographic evaluation.(Sourced fromWikipedia)
What if my ESR level is 128?
ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) is a non-specific parameter. It can be elevated in a number of conditions. You need to consult a doctor.
What does ESR measure?
ESR stands for erythrocyte sedimentation rate, the rate at which red blood cells settle in a blood tube. It is a non-specific marker for inflammation in the body, and can be elevated in infections, inflammatory states and some malignancies. It is often used to help diagnose and monitor disease activity of rheumatological conditions, such as inflammatory arthritis like Rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Sed rates are normally lower for men (0-10) compared to women (0-20) and can top 100 in severe inflammatory states.
What is the ESR test by wintrobe method?
ESR is the short form of Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate. The rate of Red Blood Cells to Settle down if you keep blood in any standard glass tube. ESR is raised in many conditions like anemias ( low hemoglobin) and certain inflammatory conditions and infections. As such ESR is not diagnostic of any particular condition but when it is raised, it means there is definitely something wrong, not necessarily something serious.
What about ESR level growth in blood test?
ESR stands for erythrocyte sedimentation rate. It is a haemotology (blood) test that is used as a basic marker for inflamation. If the ESR is raised, this is an indication that there is some type of inflamation occurring within the body. It is a very general test, although it can be used (in part) as a differential diagnostic test for some illnesses such as Kawasaki's disease, temporal arteritis and SLE.
