A "sudden, permanent change in your energy level, no matter how much sleep you've been getting," can be a sign of leukaemia, a cancer of the white blood cells, according to the University of California San Francisco Health (UCSF).

Patients with cancer frequently experience fatigue. It might be the most upsetting sign.

You can experience physical, emotional, and mental weariness from cancer, according to Cancer Research UK. 

"It varies from person to person in terms of how long it lasts, how severe it is, and how frequently you might experience it."

The NHS lists the following as additional leukemia warning signs: 

• looking "washed out" or pale 
• Breathlessness 
• many infections 
• unusual or persistent bleeding or bruising, such as nosebleeds or bleeding gums 
• without making an effort, losing weight

How to react 

If you or your child exhibits potentially leukaemia-related symptoms, consult a doctor. 

Although leukaemia is extremely unlikely to be the reason, the NHS advises that these symptoms be looked into. 

"If your GP suspects you may have leukaemia, they'll schedule blood tests to evaluate your blood cell production," the health organization explains.
