Really scared I have Leukemia!!

Hi

im 24 years old and recently I've noticed some bruising on my left leg and right leg, the left leg bruises are purple colour and the right leg bruises are a greenish colour, I'm certain I banged my knee last Friday night on a night out however I'm really scared that I may have Leukemia.

i recently took naproxen as I had been getting tension headaches, I read that this is a possible side effect of taking the medication.

i had my blood pressure checked a few weeks ago and it was absoluetely fine and I do suffer from anxiety and I'm proper freaking out!

i don't have any other symptoms other then shakiness sometimes, no frequent bleeding or gum bleeding, am I overreacting?

  • Hello Caminator16

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with some health concerns at the moment. I can see from this post and from your previous posts that you've been dealing with health anxiety for a while and have previously seen your GP who said that she was confident you didn't have cancer. 

    While we understand you are struggling with your anxiety, we are a cancer charity and therefore we aren’t qualified to offer you the help and support you really need right now. 

    You can find some information on the NHS Moodzone website here which may be of help but please do make an appointment to see your GP for help with your anxiety. 

    Best wishes,
