Living with Sickle Cell Trait and Microcytosis

I might have Thalassemia minor. I am not sure which type though.

I have alpha thalassemia and it mainly effects my iron. I can get boils and hives and headaches if my iron is too high. I can’t be exposed to too much heat or vitamin C. I have to be careful with my diet to watch my iron intake and make sure I have enough salt and sugar because my blood pressure is low. My first warning is ringing in my ears and then a headache.

lol I just noticed I wrote blow pressure lolll I meant BLOOD pressure, thanks

i have thalassemia, i’ve dealt with low blow pressure symptoms all my life (tiredness, light-headed, some nausea even) usually helps to eat salty or sugary things, and also gatorade helps a lot. Did they prescribe anything? If you want a quick solution, try putting a pinch of salt under your tongue and let it dissolve, let me know how it goes!
