See a hematologist: Ever use steroid ? From this initial information, I suggest you to see a hematologist, get a physical exam, and perhaps further work-up on rising WBC if no other causes are identified.

Elevated WBC: Well, it's too hard to know what's going on just with a piece of lab result and not knowing the whole history, I suggest that you follow closely with an Internist or your family doctor. High blood cell count could be normal variant, due to infection, inflammation and sometimes blood cancer but your symptoms are not consistent with blood cancer.
