A member asked:

Does allergy shots lower white blood cell levels?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No change in WBCs: As long as you are referring to allergen immunotherapy and not steroid injection there is no data suggesting any significant change in white cell blood counts. Steroids on the other-hand often effect blood counts.

5 months post Covid 19 my red blood cell count is marginally high (5.69 vs range of 4.5-5.5) which may explain why I feel like I am not getting enough oxygen. Other blood tests look fine but asthma and allergy meds are not helping. Ideas welcome.
