Hello, I recently discovered that my thalassemia is worse than I thought (41 yrs female). I haven't been tracking my numbers, but after having chest pains and shortness of breath I went to the hospital and found out my hemoglobin was 7.7 (49). They kept me overnight and my number climbed to 7.9. but now I'm having shortness f breath again and a bubble of pressure in my solar plexus. (I started taking folic acid 5 days ago).
I'm not under a doctor's care yet... and I have to travel this Sunday. I'm worried that it might not be safe to travel by plane right now.
Any input most appreciated. I'm sitting here freaked out about organ failure after reading up on Thal.
Thank you!
