What Causes Leg Cramps And Night Sweats While Having Low WBC Count?
I recently had a complete physical. I am 54 years old... everything checked out great. expect my white blood count was alarming low. I am going in for more blood work in a week. I have not been sick with sore throat or flu like symptoms but I have not felt right for about 3 months. I had thyroid surgery 2 years ago. removed my left lobe but I still have my right side... my levels were great. I am a runner, work out about 4 times a week, play golf, tennis etc. very active . I am a healthy eater . I am having leg crapps, night sweats, chills, still have periods. should I be concerned or is this normal.... thank you.

Dear Madam,
With low WBC counts, symptoms such as chills, may be sign of serious internal infection. Please go to nearby hospital urgently, as you may need antibiotic infusions. You may also need a bone marrow testing, to know the reason for low white blood cell count.
