Do I have leukemia?

Hi,
I'm concerned about a few symptoms I've been having of Leukemia but don't know if it is that or what to say to the doctor. 
Symptoms include:
Frequent headaches 
Frequent nosebleeds (I've had 7 in 5 days)
Extreme fatigue 
Bone pain
Weakness across body
Chest pain
Nausea
Mouth ulcers
I've had this for a few months now but blood tests have never show anything but seen that sometimes it doesn't show in blood test as its bone marrow focused. 
I don't know what to do and how to go about it. 
Can I get some advice please?

    I hope you have insisted on a referral to a Haematologist. I had similar symptoms and was also losing my sight. It took eight months to finally get a diagnosis. I had to ask the GP twice for a referral and they only agreed because the ophthalmologist I was seeing told me to insist. I am now having my fourth cycle of chemo with stem cell transplant to follow.  I have Primary Intraocular CNS Lymphoma which is very rare apparently. I have no idea what the future holds but I am fighting it and hopeful of a successful outcome. Good luck and I hope your symptoms turn out not to be serious.
