False, pernicious anemia may take up to 5 years to show symptoms. However, the oxygen starts to get depleted within the first 6 months in thalassemia major.

Pernicious anemia:

In this condition, the body is unable to absorb vitamin B12 which leads to lowered amount of red blood cells which are responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. It is an autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack their own cells in the lining of the stomach which affects the absorption of vitamin B12. The symptoms of pernicious anemia are dizziness, fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, breathlessness, and loss of appetite. The depletion of oxygen is seen in thalassemia major within 6 months.
