I've gone through a spell of worrying about having different medical conditions, but I recently stumbled upon the symptoms of leukemia and saw that I had a lot of them. I have headaches, which I've been having for a month, yesterday fatigue and muscle soreness seemed to set in, I've had a muscle twinge that's travelled from my knee, to my abdomen, to my neck. I have bruises on my foot and on my knees from scrapes that have not gone away in a few months. My neck has gotten thicker and my jawline less defined, I thought it was just because I wasn't running as much, but it might be swollen lymph nodes. I've had chest discomfort and feeling of discomfort in my temple. I urinate very frequently and have had acne that's gotten worst recently, I've noticed spots have popped up on my chest and legs, my blood pressure has gotten lower, it was around 80bpm a few weeks ago, granted I was worried at the times when I checked and it was around 60 today, I also have night sweats occasionally. I had a bad coughing fit a couple days ago that I think may have been caused by sports induced asthma, and have had throat soreness and swallowing was painfull yesterday and earlier today. Because of the fatigue, diarrhea, pressure above my teeth, muscle aches, chills, congestion (not a runny nose, though), and sore throat I developed, I went to the nurse's office on my campus and they said I probably have a sinus infection. My sore throat is feeling better and I no longer have difficulty swallowing only 8 hours after I first took antiobiotics. This seems pretty quick and a sinus infection doesn't explain all my symptoms. I've also had a decreased appetite the past day or so, to go along with a slightly upset stomach. I didn't bring the leukemia thing up at the nurse's office because I felt weird about trying to broach the subject, but even though I wasn't confident enough to bring it up, I'm still really worried, help!
