Low white counts are usually connected with stress, and stress is usually connected with excess fatigue. The doctor can do a cat scan to see if your spleen is swollen which could cause an uncomfortable full feeling after eating a small amount of food. If it is a sharp pain, it could be a bruised rib, or a little congestion in the left lung or a variety of stomach ailments. I doubt any one here could diagnose you any better than the doctor can. See your doctor and ask about your stomach and spleen.
