I have always had problems with being anemic. Just this past week my sister took my niece to be tested about her blood cells being abnormal. It is not Sickle Cell but they tested her for thalessemia. Do you think I need to ask my doctor about it since we cant figure out why my iron levels are still low even on iron supplements?
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, Infectious diseases specialists, responding to you. Thalesemia is disease where there is constant breakdown of the RBC and resultant anemia. I suggest you to figure out which type of thalassemia you are having. This thing will help you in your proper management. I will be glad to answer your further query. Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. Wish you the best health. Thank you, ChatDoctor.
