• Hubby has been feeling extremely sluggish during his runs/bikes/workouts for the past few months. He is motivated, but his body just can't seem to get going. Eating before/during/after workouts does not seems to help much.
• Hubby and I are vegetarian. We thought he felt like that due to low iron, which is something I have experienced in the past.
• Finally hubby goes and gets tested.
• The results perplex the doctor.
• Turns out his iron level is normal. B12 also normal. Testosterone, cholesterol, blood sugar all normal.
• He has LOW Red Blood Count and LOW White Blood Count.
• His Echocardiogram shows some "deviations" or "abnormalities".
• Doctor refers hubby to a heart specialist for two more tests (stress test and some other imaging thing).
• Doctor also refers hubby to a blood specialist.

It will take some time before hubby sees the specialists and gets their input. In the meantime I tried to ask Dr. Google what a combination of low RBC & WBC could mean. Didn't really get any clear answers aside from some sort of blood cancer.


Anyone experience this before? What was your diagnosis?
