Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
No need to treat thalassemia trait. A person can live healthy life with it. Slight fatigue is common. Excessive tiredness is not responsible for lowering hemoglobin. But low hemoglobin leads to tiredness and fatigue.
Hope I have answered your question.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
