Thanks, I actually went to the ER room because I woke up feeling very sick so they ran a  CBC test. I was just so worried because they weren't this low since May. Thanks for your reinforcement though.

It's not that low.  You test results are within normal limits.  You will find that the ranges can be different depending on where you get the tests done.  One place may say it is fine, another may say it is low.  It really is within a resonable limit though.
Your WBC count is within range.  My father has leukemia and his WBC is very very very high.  Yours is 7.4.
One thing you didn't state is what is the reason for you to have to get the tests ran in the first place?  
Another question is if your doc mailed the results to you didn't he include something that states what you should do?  If not then your doc isn't worried about the results.
If you already have these results and haven't had a doc call you, then don't worry because your doc thinks its fine, which I do too.
