Leukemia cells, traveling throughout the body may gradually
collect in various parts and can affect skin, central nervous system, digestive
tract, kidneys, lungs, testicles or other parts of the body. Depending on the
number of abnormal cells and where these cells collect, patients with leukemia
may have a number of symptoms.
The common symptoms
of leukemia include:
• Mild fever, chills,other flu-like symptoms
• Feeling weak or tired
• Pale complexion from anemia
• Frequent infections
• Loss of appetite and weight
• Swollen or tender lymph nodes, liver, or spleen
• Prolonged bleeding from minor cuts
• Pin-head sized red spots (called petechiae) under the skin
• Swollen or bleeding gums
• Sweating, especially at night
• Slow healing of cuts
• Pain in the bones or joints
The leukemia cells collected on the lining of the brain and spinal cause
headache, vomiting, confusion, loss of muscle control, and seizures.
In acute leukemia, symptoms appear and worsen quickly. In chronic leukemia,
at the early stages, the leukemia cells function almost normally and symptoms
may not appear for a long time. When symptoms do appear, they generally are
mild at first and get worse gradually.
Doctors often find chronic leukemia during a routine checkup, before there
are any symptoms.

Ans:
Dear Suresh,
Smoking is hazardous to your health. There is no reason why should start this bad habbit at this age it is a very difficult habit to break once you are addicted to cigarettes. Smoking can cause lung problems such as Asthma and lung cancer. Throat cancer is another complication of smoking .
SO PLEASE STOP SMOKING..
You may not have cancer but there is no reason to indulge in risky behaviour. Some Cancers are curable if treated early. Stress can cause sweating high heart rate etc..
If your symptoms persists you may have to consult a doctor.
Please take care.
