hi i'm 22 years old, i'm in decent shape, I run about 24 miles a week, and lift weights on and off. last week I had to get a physical done so that i can take the power test for my county's Sheriff's department. This physical required a blood test that which my doc told me to call for the results the next day. When i got the results he told me that my Triglyceride level was high and that my white blood cell level was also higher than usual, 12.2 thousand and that he wants to retest me in 3 months. this only usually happens when the body is fighting off an infection but I haven't been sick in years. I have, on the other hand, been some what down emotionally for about two years now due to my own family issues and a few other things going on in my life. I heard somewhere that depression and anxiety also increase white blood cells. But this whole situation is having me contemplate whether or not me being a crab-ass is bad enough to effect me like this. As you can see I'm not trying to gather sympathy but rather am worried about these medical results and could use some insight from people who actually know what they're talking about in regards to my situation.
my doctor also told me over the phone he didn't think i had any infections
