Hi, hyperhidrosis is not a recognised symptom of thalassemia minor.
But tiredness and shortness of breath are; however they’re also symptoms of many other disorders including anaemia.
As thalassemia is an autosomnal recessive disease, you’d have to inherit the faulty gene from both parents.
The fact that your grandmother and two aunts have the disease is probably explained (if your aunts are your mother’s sisters) by the fact that they shared the same parents who were both carriers of the gene and both passed it on to these children when they were conceived.
As long as your father is not a carrier, which would be unlikely, even if you inherited the faulty gene from your mother, you would still not develop thalassemia.
Anaemia is much more likely.
If you don’t want to wait for your test results, you could rule out anaemia with a home-testing kit from your pharmacist.
Take care.
