Heart Palpitations
If you notice that you experience heart palpitations, even after little physical activity, it may be a warning sign of leukemia. Since leukemia affects the production of red blood cells, the heart will have to work harder. This symptom may not be experienced by everyone who has leukemia, and it is possible for people who already have a heart condition before leukemia to experience some chest pain in addition to the palpitations. Palpitation can also signify the onset of heart disease. Thus, it should not be treated with levity; complaint to your doctor as soon as you notice this sign. [3]
