Hi,

You are experiencing fatigue, weight loss and body pains. It seems like you are too worried. Keep your mind calm and relaxed. Excess anxiety or depression itself can cause all the symptoms you mentioned.

If your doctor have reassured you after evaluation, it is very unlikely that you have AML.

Still, to relieve your anxiety, you can insist your doctor to get a blood cont, ESR and peripheral smear. If these are normal, leave it. If still feeling too anxious, it will be better you consult a psychiatrist for managing anxiety.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK
