Hey guys! I’m new here, found this website as I scoured the internet for answers. I’ll get straight to the point. Back in September I went in for blood work at my endo, and everything was within normal limits except for my white blood cell count. My WBC count was 10.3 (normal being 5-10), and the rest of the values of my CBC we’re fine. My granulocytes were on the higher end, but still within normal limits (7.7 when the highest is 8). As per my trend, my WBC have never been high. The only thing I did differently the morning of my test was that I went running right before. Being a nursing major, naturally I’ve already gone to the worst case scenario and am terrified I have leukemia, regardless of the fact that I have no symptoms and my doctor wasn’t overly concerned. She said she would check them again next time she checks my thyroid levels. I’ve read online that stress can cause elevation, and I am in nursing school so I feel stress all the time. Is it possible that there was an error somewhere? Or that maybe running or stress caused an elevation? Or should I start preparing for the worst? Thank you!
