What are the symptoms of thalassemia minor, and how can I maintain a healthy RBC count and iron level?

People with thalassemia minor may have mild anemia (slight lowering of the hemoglobin). This may resemble mild iron-deficiency anemia. However, people with thalassemia minor have a normal blood iron level (unless they are iron deficient for other reasons). Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder caused when the body doesn’t make enough of hemoglobin, an important part of red blood cells. In severe cases, heart failure is a possibility. This is the reason why Thalassemia is an important diagnosis for Cardiologist like me. How to diagnose thalassemia minor?
