Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Thete are many causes of large wbc count. Vit b12 or folate deficiency, alcoholism livet disease are the common cause. You should go for liver function test. Your all symptoms are not related to your large rbcs you may have some other disease also. You should check for cardiovascular disease also.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
