Hello and hope you are doing well.
It is evident from your history that you could most probably be suffering from asthma. This is detected with lung function tests. The disease is usually triggered by an allergen. These allergens, when exposed to initiate immune mediated reactions which will result in the symptoms you experience. And yes, the allergic reactions could cause increased IgE levels. The allergic history usually runs in families.
So, the problem can be tackled at three levels.
At the allergen level, where you can consult an allergy specialist, who after doing some skin tests, will be able to specify some allergens. You can either avoid exposure to these allergens or desensitize yourself.
The second level is prevention of the attacks. For this, there are steroidal inhalers for asthma. The steroid content is very minimal in inhalers and long-term use will prevent attacks.
When you have an attack, for wheezing, during the attacks, you can use Asthalin.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
I was advised that my high IGE count can show these symptoms...
I need to know if this can be reduced ?
