Signs and Symptoms
Some signs or symptoms of leukemia are similar to other more common and less severe illnesses. Specific blood tests and bone marrow tests are needed to make a diagnosis. Signs and symptoms vary based on the type of leukemia.
For acute leukemia, they include:
*
Tiredness or no energy
*
Shortness of breath during physical activity
*
Pale skin
*
Mild fever or night sweats
*
Slow healing of cuts and excess bleeding
*
Black-and-blue marks (bruises) for no clear reason
*
Pinhead-size red spots under the skin
*
Aches in bones or joints (for example, knees, hips or shoulders)
*
Low white cell counts, especially monocytes or neutrophils.
People with CLL or CML may not have any symptoms. Some patients learn they have CLL or CML after a blood test as part of a regular checkup. Sometimes, a person with CLL may notice enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, armpit or groin and go to the doctor. The person may feel tired or short of breath (from anemia) or have frequent infections, if the CLL is more severe. In these cases, a blood test may show an increase in the lymphocyte count.
CML signs and symptoms tend to develop slowly. People with CML may feel tired and short of breath while doing everyday activities; they may also have an enlarged spleen (leading to a “dragging” feeling on the upper left side of the belly), night sweats and weight loss.
Each type of leukemia may have other symptoms or signs that prompt a person to get a medical checkup.
The best advice for any person troubled by symptoms such as a lasting, low-grade fever, unexplained weight loss, tiredness or shortness of breath is to see a healthcare provider.

this question is very general but if any doubt go see a doctor and get a complete blood count (cbc) to look for a drop or elevation in counts.
This is by far the fastest and cheapest test to diagnose leukemia. And if abnormal, you need to see a hematologist for confirmation.

there may be no symptoms early on, or there may be feelings of tiredness, fatigue, unexplained weight-loss, appetite loss and/or an odd pain/full feeling on the left under the ribs.
Please see the link below for more details. It links to the leukemia information site at the Mayo Clinic, a highly respected research and treatment clinic in the USA.
Be sure to click on the “next” at the bottom of the paragraph on each page–on one of the pages it says:
“People with chronic myelogenous leukemia tend to respond better to treatment when it’s started early. So be sure to visit your health care professional if you feel run-down or tired, lose weight without trying, sweat excessively during sleep or have other possible signs and symptoms of CML.”
