No: 11.2 depending on the lab is considered a mild elivation in WBC level. It is normal to have this with viral infections. If you are concerned you can have the test repeated after a month.

High leukocytes (~18,000), although 4 months ago they were 6,000. I have no pain, no fever, & no infection symptoms. On the day the blood was taken: two panic attacks, fight with partner, heatwave and walking outdoors. Could that increase my WBC?
