My blood test results came in and the dr told me that my WBC are low as 3.9 and because for the past four years it still low as 3.7 and 3.9 he wants to keep an eye on me. he send me for other blood work in two months. Should i worry. what can be causing that?I haven't been sick. I'm a little worried.
Also my 13 year son have a 15.9 hemoglobine the doctor is not to happy about it. he send him for blood work cause the past frw years is keep getting high...

I have the same thing google Leukopenia and Neutropenia , it is usually a sign that there is an infectiongoing on, once the infection is treated white cells go up again, mine was at 3 not long ago, and did go up a bit after a stomach infection responded to anti biotics I think I am fighting Lyme and this white cells seems to be a part of that as yet it is undiagnosed so I have not been given the traetment for that. Meanwhile make sure you dont go near anyone with a cold, flu or anything as you are open to all infections. Some people have low white cells anyway, check the names I have given you above .Good Luck let me know how it goes.
