After going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that in Thalasemia there are possibilities of severe anemia or iron overload that can cause heart palpitation or Arrythmias .
It's advisable for you to get you CBC, Iron Profile including Ferritin and one ECG done and personally consult your doctor with the reports to evaluate in a proper manner.
Hopefully this has answered your query.
Kind Regards Dr Navneet Mahajan
