A member asked:
My white blood cell has reached from 5 to 3.4 in the last three months , should i worry? i am usually very healthy but i have been very stressed could that be the reason for such a high drop ?

The white blood cell count varies within a range. So, dropping within a certain level is not problematic. It should probably be re-checked in 4 weeks or so to be sure it does not continue to drop. If it continues to drop, seeing a hematologist may be needed. Best of luck to you!
