Leukemia Sign #3: Shortness of Breath
If you are short of breath after just having exercised, there is nothing to worry about. It simply means that your body is using up more oxygen, so you are having to work harder to get the oxygen that you need. If you are short of breath for no particular reason, however, this is a sign that there could be something wrong.
Leukemia will often lead to anemia, which results in a reduced amount of oxygen in the blood. To compensate, we begin breathing harder to try and get more oxygen in our system. If you are having difficulties breathing, you should arrange to speak with a medical professional.
