White blood cells

[Lolalu09]

Hi all,

I hope someone can give me advice. I'm not having any luck with my GP.

Since March my white blood cells have been slightly elevated.

March was 12.7 then August 10, September 11 and just recent 11.3. I do sometimes get light headed spells and feel faint but all vitamin blood tests all come back normal. Maybe it's anxiety?

Do you think this is a concern? I don't feel I have an infection but I am generally stressed/not looking after myself amazingly. Have a 1 year old who doesn't sleep well! I have booked another apt with GP to discuss results next week.

Thank you in advance 🥰

They’re nothing to be worried about , 11.3 is very very slightly elevated, stress can cause it as well as inflammation in the body. The fact they’re going down and not up is a good thing . How’s your iron levels?

Hi Pompey, thank you for your reply, that's reassuring.

My iron is normal but wasn't back in march when my white cells were 12.7.

But spoke to GP that didn't seem concerned even though the previous GP did that's why it scared me. She just said to repeat in 3 months. X
