Is it possible that i have leukemia? i feel weak and pale.

Maybe, probably not: The symptoms you describe could be caused by anemia. Anemia can have many causes. Leukemia usually also causes other symptoms, such as bruising, bleeding or achy bone pain. A blood test can be helpful to figure this out. Talk with your primary doctor to arrange this blood work.
