Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If you do not have any clinical symptoms then it is nothing to worry.
WBC count given here may be doubtful and it has to be crossed checked or it need to be repeated after a few days even it is nothing to worry about. The heart rate and to clear the doubt EKG is the only option that could show the abnormality or normal rhythm till then it is nothing to worry.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
