How low was your white cell count? Number above 3K can be normally seen in certain people, especially of African American heritage and it should not cause any problem, especially this condition is not new. The opposite is true for certain people with high white cell count in the low 10K range.

If you have remained healthy with this count than chances are you will continue to be so. If concerned than see a Hematologist for further investigation. Good luck.
