10 Leukemia Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #9: Headaches
In more advanced cases of leukemia, spread to the brain and spinal cord can cause headaches. It can also cause weakness, vomiting, issues with balance, seizures, blurred vision, change in consciousness, and facial numbness. Some experts also believe that the excessive white blood cells can cause obstruction in the blood vessels of the brain contributing to the headaches.
Since it is a non-specific symptom, many patients tend to take an over the counter medication without paying too much attention to it. If you are experiencing persistent headaches with other possible symptoms of leukemia, consult your doctor as soon as possible.
