What Causes High WBC Count, Weakness, Fever And Lack Of Appetite?
Hi I'm 26 years old am going to see a blood doctor as my white blood cells are high and limp notes are elevated I've been tried all the time my body feels weak not eating fevers nose bleeds lose stools now things have gotten worse I have chest pain cancer runs in my family and I'm wondering does my doctor think this is what's going on? I've never been to a blood doctor before
I can understand your concern. Even though you have history of cancer in your family still this doesn't mean that elevated WBCs or other symptoms you are having are occurring due to cancer. Elevated WBC counts occurs mostly in infections especially chronic infections. You have fever also which also points towards some infectious cause. The body weakness, fever, chest pains etc symptoms along with raised leukocytes could be occurring due to some infection and need proper evaluation.
Visit a physician for evaluation and help. Medicines like Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen etc can be used for relief of fever and pain. If raised WBCs and fever occurred due to infection then antibiotic therapy might be needed. To get proper prescription visit a doctor.
Thanks, Hope this helps. Take care
