What Is Causing My Body Aches And Headaches?
I have had slightly elevated levels of white blood cells and red blood cells. This was found during a routine physical and has been ongoing for about 3 months. The only symptoms i have are headaches and body aches and I'm not even sure that it is related to the blood counts. Any thoughts on what this could be? Not suspecting leukemia since counts are only slightly out of normal range.

Welcome to H.C.M. I am Dr Krishna Dubey.
You should not worry about slightly elevated levels of white blood cells and red blood cells .You should repeat your complete blood count and peripheral blood film and then see the changes from earlier blood count.
This will help to remove your all doubts.
Headache and body aches can be due to long duration work. I suggest you to avoid long duration work for few days and do some rest.
You will be fine soon.
Keep in touch and Thanx.
