My P.A.. just told me that I have a Low White Blood Count  (3.6 -  the normal here is 4.1 - 10.9)  The clinic just put in a new computer system so he cant easily check past counts & feels this is probably due to a  respiratory problem I had a month or so ago, but I just checked my lab results from last year and found that it was a tiny bit low then too (4.0 ).  Ive been tired lately and am now wondering if I should ignore the low count or ask for other things to be checked to make sure theres nothing serious going on?
Hello, So far as your question is concerned, a bit of information about your health history and current status (including Chat Doctor.  Keeping in view the information you provided, if you are not having other illnesses, especially infections, and you are not taking any long-term medication and are not having any serious health problem(s) due to low WBC count (frequent and severe infections), then you can just ignore it. But you may need to get the blood counts done regularly at least on 6 monthly basis so that if further decline occurs, it can be timely picked up and managed accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
