I'm hoping to get some advice from other forum users. I recently had a blood test done and the results showed that my IgE levels are very high. I'm not sure what this means or what I should do next.

The best doctor to see for high IgE levels is an allergist or immunologist. An allergist specializes in diagnosing and treating allergies and immunological disorders, while an immunologist specializes in studying and treating the body’s immune system. Both types of doctors are able to properly diagnose and treat high IgE levels. Your primary care doctor may also be able to help you in this regard, but an allergist or immunologist is likely the best choice.

If you have high IgE levels, it's important to see a specialist. Depending on the underlying cause, you may need to see an allergist, immunologist, or infectious disease specialist. Your primary care doctor can help you determine the best specialist for your case. It's also important to get a full medical and family history to identify any potential triggers or underlying conditions. The specialist may order blood tests and other diagnostic tests to help diagnose the problem. Treatment may include medications or lifestyle changes, such as avoiding certain allergens or changing your diet.

If you have been diagnosed with high IgE levels, you should visit a board-certified allergist or immunologist. These are medical specialists with expertise in disorders of the immune system, which can include elevated IgE levels.

An allergist can help diagnose the cause of your high IgE levels and recommend the most appropriate treatment. For example, if your high IgE levels are due to an allergy, your allergist may recommend allergen avoidance, immunotherapy, or medication. If your high IgE levels are due to an underlying medical condition such as asthma, your allergist can help manage your condition and recommend any necessary treatments.

Your allergist may also order additional tests to determine the cause of your elevated IgE levels, such as skin prick tests, patch tests, or blood tests.

If you are concerned about your IgE levels, you should seek advice from your primary care physician or an allergist. It is important to be evaluated by a healthcare provider with the expertise to diagnose and treat your condition.
