White Blood Count Has Gone Down, Why, Do You Think? Worried! Posted: 05-15-06 16:56pm
Hi,
i am a 48 year old male my white blood
count has gone from around 5.5 to 5.0 to
4.2 and then last week 4.0.
This drop has occurred over an year's
period. I have high blood pressure and
the doctor takes regular blood test I
guess due to the medication.
The doctor ran a routine aids test, which
I knew would not be positive, but they
said it was routine and insisted. It was
negative.
Should I be concerned? What do you think
could make it go from 5.5 down to 4.0 in a
year's time? I have been on the atkins
type diet and I have been stressed to the
max the last four or five months, but I
don't know if they would effect it.
Should I be worried... Cancer.. Or
something like that?!?!?
