How to bring down rbc 7.2 with thalassemia minor am afraid of a stroke rbc 7.2 hgb 14 hct 43 platelet 230 mcv low mch low?

A mainstay of medicine is you don't treat normal. If you are worried about your risk of stroke seek out an evaluation with a neurologist and hematologist. If your concern has any basis they can either confirm or deny it. If there is any reason to reduce the rbc count they would have that information.

You are not at risk of stroke from you blood cell count and hemoglobin.
