No: People with Alpha thalassemia trait are similar to regular people. Some Alpha thal. Trait persons are mildly anemic, but the anemia is not enough to cause symptoms. A few people may be anemic enough to feel tired or have pallor (pale appearance). Intestinal problems, and other medical problems, can occur just as they occur in non-thalassemic persons.
