Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. WBC is mildly elevated and could indicate possible infection, if you have fever. Even exercise, or mild injury could elevate it.
2. RBC count is on the lower side, indicating possible anemia. Correlation with other red cell indices in blood test is essential. Could be blood loss anemia.
3. Platelets are within normal limits. Some labs may have 4 lakhs as cutoff, so yours might be highlighted.

Any further queries, happy to help again.
