Worried about Blood Tests

I took a complete blood test and everything came back within "normal limits" but I am worried about the following results:

WBC: 5.8 (ref range 3.4-10.8)

Lymphs Absolute: 0.9 (ref range 0.7-3.1)

Should I be worried?

General check-up, I have felt worn down and have had loose stools as of late. HIV test was negative but now im worried about these low blood numbers which shows I have a weakened immune system.

Both values, are as you already state, within normal ranges.

I would not worry if I were you. What was the reason for doing the blood testing, if I may ask?

Thank you for your response. This doesn't qualify as lymphocytopenia? (Total lymph under 1000?) I just don't get why the dr wouldn't mention this to me and I had to discover it myself...

Hi there, I think your blood test results sound okay, but if your very worried, why don't you ask your doctor to repeat them in 1 months time, just to double check the results, thats what I would do, hope this helps..
