What Causes Low WBC Count?
Hi I sometimes experience fatigue with a strange taste in my mouth and heavy eyelids. My blood test showed that I had 3000 White blood cells which is below normal, my doctor has since taken more blood tests and i am awaiting results. Could you advise what he is testing for or what could be wrong? Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Possible testing for opportunistic infection.
2. Low WBC count is not to be worried about if there is no infection.
3. Disturbed sleep needs to be checked due to heavy lids. Also autoimmune disorder requires evaluation. More details necessary for further opinion.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
