Slightly low wbc count is of no worry.it may happen many times in certain viral infection or some other infection. dont worry about that.and leukemia is out of question because in leukemia most of the time wbc count is too high. Your heartburn maybe due to gastritis. H.pylori infection. so take treatment of that. Forget about leukemia or low wbc count.
