My white blood cell count isn't increasing, and I've been experiencing some discomfort in my chest and heart area. I'm a bit worried about what this could mean. Could these issues be related, and should I consider getting some tests done?

I would recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and proper diagnosis. In the meantime, you can consider taking antibiotics like Amoxicillin (dosage: 500mg-875mg) to help increase white blood cell count and relieve any potential infection. Additionally, medications like Aspirin (dosage: 75mg-325mg) can help with chest pain by reducing inflammation.
