Frequent infections, should I be worried?

I have had 3 bacterial infections, 2 fungal infections, a really bad virus, and multiple ear infections over the past year. I never got sick in the past, I can't remember ever going on antibiotics before this year, except after getting my wisdom teeth out. I also have hot flashes and night sweats, I've lost 15 pounds since March without trying, and I have had widespread pain for over a year, specifically muscle and bone pain, and fatigue.

I had a blood count recently and everything came back normal except my MCV, which was low. I have also developed iron deficiency and vitamin D deficiency over the last year with no change in diet or sun exposure.

Does anyone have any ideas? My primary concern is leukemia, does a normal white cell count completely rule it out? Any other ideas for what it could be?

Thank you so much for your help!
