Ask your doctor.: There are different kinds of wbcs, and which one is elevated has to be known first. There is a very long list of possibe reasons. You need to get more information from your doctor, and perhaps see a hematologist.

Platelets should be 150-400. Last month mine were 463. Yesterday they were 560ish. Have been high for around 1 year. Suffer long heavy periods at times. Had a 6 month daily period. Stopped 2 days ago. When to worry high platelets cause blood clots?
