Just have a question. I've been having panic attacks so my doc sent me for bloodwork just to make sure everything is ok. My White Blood Cells is in the normal range. It was 5.0. Normal is 3.5 - 12.5. But four years ago it was 9.4, and two year ago it was 9.0. Should I be worried that its down, even though its in its normal range???

Anyone know??

I am a 24 year old SAHM of 2 beautiful kids that are the light of my life and my reason for living! I've found the love of my life and we have made a beautiful home together. I'm starting college and am working toward an RN degree...Life is perfect!

as long as your wbc count is within normal limits, there is nothing to worry about. if it was elevated, that would be a sign of infection.

Thanks everyone. Obviously I am freaking out b/c I suffer from a Panic Disorder, lol....I called the advice nurse and she said everything looks perfect and not to worry about it going down from a couple year ago...I am still worried though.
