Let me explain : In people with the characteristic features of Alpha thalassemia, a reduction in the amount of hemoglobin prevents enough oxygen from reaching the body's tissues. Affected individuals also have a shortage of red blood cells (anemia), which can cause pale skin, weakness, fatigue, and more serious complications. Please check it out.

See doc.: Suggest you see you doc since your symptoms don't match up to anything simply and certainly are not associated with Alpha thall.
