So my HA has been amped up for a few weeks now. I had a lump on my neck that I swore was a node but 3 dr said muscle. I woke up this am with the classic lump in throat hard to swallow feeling from anxiety. I went to my dr just bc it's the weekend and I didn't want to be sick. Se checked my nodes again bc I asked her to and said they were perfect. My throat was a little red but before getting antibiotics I asked for a CBC. My WBC count was perfect, 7.1 w 10 being the high end of the range and 5 being low. She sent me home and said throat was from allergy or anxiety.
I felt better until the thought of what if my WBC was 71 instead of 7.1??? That would be way high and indicate major infection or luekemia. They wouldn't make a mistake like that right?? I keep telling myself that WBC is a basic in house test they do daily! They would not have let me leave w a WBC count of 7.1 if it were 71.....right??? And...I'd probably feel like crap if my WBC was 7 times higher than normal right? At least a fever....right?? Are my rational thoughts making sense?? Help please
