No,there is no any problem.
Both reading are within normal limit.Normal count of WBCs in the blood is 4,500-10,000 white blood cells per microliter (mcL).
It is mildly decreased from earlier count and it is not a matter of concern at all.Mild fluctuations in count can occur.
It is important to know the reason for investigations.
You are perfectly fine.
