I have thalassemia minor. i experience fainting spells once in awhile when i stand in the sun. i also feel dizzy when i stand up. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Thalassaemia minor: Is a defect in haemoglobin synthesis that has several genetic variations, with some of the variations having more impact on the individual than others. It is frequently without symptoms, however. Are you actually anaemic? If so, then that could be significant. If not, then the symptoms you are experiencing may not actually be due to the t. M., but to other reasons, possibly such as a baseline.
