Symptoms of AML can be different in each person. The most common symptoms include:
Bleeding that's hard to stop.
Easy bruising.
Fever.
Frequent infections or infections that keep coming back.
Feeling weak.
Feeling very tired (fatigue).
Pale skin.
Shortness of breath.
Chest pain.
Dizziness.
Headaches.
Blurred vision.
Aches in back, bones, and joints.
Swollen or bleeding gums.
Swollen lymph nodes, liver, or spleen.
Loss of appetite.
Unplanned weight loss.
Rashes of tiny flat red or purple spots under the skin (caused by bleeding).
Sores or wounds that don't heal.
Night sweats.
Heavy periods, more frequent periods, or periods that last longer than normal.
Many of these symptoms can be caused by other, more common health problems. In fact, most of them are more likely to be caused by something else. Still, it's important to see a doctor if you have these symptoms. Only a doctor can tell if you have AML, another type of cancer, or some other medical problem that needs to be treated.
