My white blood cells count was 2.8 and today its 2.5, seems to be going down for some reason. cause for concern? no symptoms, healthy. all other labs normal?

A differential of the WBC would be helpful to know if a particular white cell is decreased. You should see a hematologist for an evaluation to be certain you do not have a particular deficiency that would need to be monitored and/or put you at risk for certain infections. Good luck!
