Hello, I am finishing my residency in cardiology in Greece and a routine blood test showed very low folic and b12 ( first time checked). What I knew from old tests, was that I used to have a mild microcytosis and a little elevated bilirubin (Gilbert syndrome), near normal As I was said, but without iron deficiency.
After that I had full blood test, and check for b12 deficiency without anything else it is worth mentioning.
Even if it isn't such a severe disease, I have some symptoms to mention : I get pale very easily, especially after tiredness or stress even if I feel well. Is it possible that an alpha thalassemia trait could have caused this situation? And what should I do?
B12: 145, folic: 2.8 (3-20), LDH 197(normal), HbA2: 2.5, normal electrophoresis, negative celiac antibodies, the rest on images.
Thank you for your time...
