Thalassemia minor itself will not cause any difficulties. But with that, you will keep having anemia and hence your immunity will be always subpar. This means you need to be better prepared against diseases. Wear masks, use sanitisers and handwash, stick to home food or places where kitchen hygeine is met as much as possible.
Most probably this will solve the issue of having recurrent infections. But do connect if nothing works and you keep getting diseases, you might need further evaluation.

Your lungs are fine, but your heart is not, which can be due to chronic anemia induced by thalassemia minor. Go for 2decho, consult general physician
