I'm dealing with chronic urticaria and have tried different antihistamines like Cetirizine, Fexofenadine, Desloratadine, and Levocetirizine, but they all cause me severe heartburn and acid reflux. I noticed that when I take Monlevo, which combines Montelukast Sodium and Levocetirizine Hydrochloride, I don't experience these side effects. Why do you think that is? Is there something about this combination that prevents the usual issues? What should I consider or discuss with my doctor about this?

View allI'm noticing that my heart rate goes up whenever I eat eggs or meat, and it's a bit worrying because I've already consulted a cardiologist who said I don't have any heart problems. What could be causing this?
Increased heart rate after consuming certain foods like eggs or meat could be due to food sensitivities or allergies. In some cases, certain food additives or preservatives can also trigger such a response. To help manage this, you can try taking an antihistamine like Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) at a dose of 10mg before consuming these foods. Additionally, you can also try avoiding these trigger foods to see if your symptoms improve.

I'm dealing with really high Immunoglobulin IGE and I've been getting this annoying skin rash and itching. My skin doctor prescribed levocetirizine to calm the itching down, but after taking it for two months, nothing's changed. Do you think I'm seeing the right type of doctor for this, or should I check in with another specialist since it might be related to my blood?
It seems like the skin doctor's approach of prescribing levocetirizine to suppress the itching caused by high Immunoglobulin E levels has not been effective in your case. Since elevated IgE levels are related to the immune system and can contribute to skin issues like rash and itching, it might be beneficial to consult with an Allergist or Immunologist for further evaluation and management. They may recommend specific medications such as Montelukast along with antihistamines like Fexofenadine to address the underlying cause of the elevated IgE levels and provide relief from the symptoms.
