Cold feet can be due to various reasons such as decreased blood circulation to the extremities due to atherosclerosis that is cholesterol deposition in blood vessels, nerve damage - nerves that detect temperature are not working, lean body - persons who have less body fat need to conserve more heat which happens by feet becoming cold to keep internal organs warm, normal response to cold climate.

I'm a bit concerned because my WBC count came back at 11.6 this time, and last month it was 9.4. I had a slight cough when they did my blood work. Could that be causing the increase? Should I be worried about this?

A WBC count of 11.6 is slightly elevated, but it may not be a cause for concern, especially if you were experiencing a cough at the time of the test. Infections or even mild illnesses like a cough can temporarily raise your WBC count. Its a good idea to follow up with your doctor if you're concerned.
