A sign of leukemia, chronic fatigue leads to shortness of breath, feeling weak, extreme fatigue and gasping for air.

Excessive bruising

Unexplained bruising occurs without any physical injury, due to cancer of the blood cells, which in turn causes a low platelet count or clotting problems.

Swelling and enlargement of the gums

Swollen gums are not always the result of poor oral hygiene, but it may be a sign of a more serious health condition, such as acute leukemia.

Bloating

An enlarged spleen is a sign of a chronic or acute type of leukemia, which leads to loss of appetite, due to the pressure of the enlarged spleen on the stomach.

Fever and chills

Fever indicates the presence of an infection in the body, which causes a weakened immune system, which is a risk factor for leukemia.
