I have been sick for a month....bonchitus, sinus infection and now pneumonia...during my last clinc they did blood tests and xrays.  The blood tests came back pretty low....I have been feeling better with this last round of antibiotics, but the low blood counts are a bit scarey. They wanted me to go to the ER.  I plan to finish my antiobiotica and then go back and have my blood work redone.  Am I making a mistake?  Money is an issue(no Insurace), so I am trying to be conservative but not risk my health.
If they called you about low blood counts and told you to go to the ER, then what they found was very significant and needs prompt evaluation and treatment. Low blood counts could mean low platelets, white cells, and/or red cells. All of these cells function in critical areas-control of bleeding, infection, and carrying oxygen. If the platelets are too low, you could have excessive bleeding, including internal bleeding. When white cells are low, you are very susceptible to all types of infections, which may be related to all the recent problems you have. If the red cells are very low, you might need a blood transfusion. I understand your concerns about costs, but without knowing the specifics of your blood counts, your best choice is to go to the ER as recommended and not take chances with your health. Hope this helps.
