Vit deficiency or more sinister?

Hi all, didnt know where else to put this to be honest..(?)

Recently had an ECG because I have some fluttering and skipped beats in my heart, with no pain or pressure.

The ECG itself has came back normal I believe, and so did all other of my bloods (Lipids, Electrolytes, Glucose etc).

But one part of my test flagged up as abnormal ; the FBC.

Basically the doctor said that my White cell count was low (3.6 /L) and my Lymphocyte was also low (1.3/L)

I also have levels that are on the lower side of : Vitamin D, Vitamin B12 and Ferritin (Iron). I get the following symptoms:

Dizziness every day

Weakness and feint.

Sometimes low blood pressure (never lower than 94/64).

The odd skipped heart beat.

Tinnitus at night

Fatigue

Sudden bouts of intense shivering (?)

What do these values mean? I am not asking anyone to diagnose me over the internet of course, but a low white cell & lower lymphocyte combined must point to something?

Any help appreciated, thank you
