I have an elevated wbc at about 11. i do smoke and have thyroid disease and anxiety. i did see a hematologist and was cleared but i would like to kno?

Probably you: I'll assume that no abnormal blood cells were present. This is probably just you. The smoking and the stress of going to the doctor can rise your wbc. Life's too difficult already without worrying about "the numbers" on lab slips. Best wishes.
