What Causes A Decline In The RBC & WBC Count?

I had a complete blood picture along with some other blood tests due to chest pain symptoms. All tests were fine but the RBC and WBC showed slightly low levels. The cardiologist I saw said this was likely due to a previous virus (although I have had no complaints) I am also experiencing a lot of headaches and fatigue should I go any further with investigations or just put it down to low immunity right now. Its written Normochromic anaemia and WBC shows leucopenia?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have anemia and leukopenia. It is very common in viral infection. You may have viral infection in past and it goes unnoticed. No need to worry about that. Just go for repeat blood test after a month. It will back to the normal.
Just put it down to low immunity right now.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
