My family has recently been sick with gastro, i was sick 2 nights ago with vomiting etc, i was fine the next day. Then today i woke with terrible stomach cramps and headaches, i went to the er and was given buscopan and iv fluids. They took bloods and have noticed that my white blood cell count is low. I have been having headaches for the past 8 weeks that drs say is due to anxiety, should i be worried?

Nobody can answer this question. The only person who should answer it is your GP. Please go see your GP.
I should've mentioned i am booked in with my gp next week, i was advised to do so by the ER dr. I was just looking for anyone that may of experiences similiar.
I would say if it was anything serious you would have seen urgent action, they dont send you home and just to the gp next week. If you are worried go into the gp earlier.
I’m pretty sure a low count is common when your body is fighting an infection, which would make sense as you have had gastro. If it was dangerously low, they wouldn’t have sent you home. I’m sure you will feel better in no time, just follow up with gp.
