I've had allergies to dust, some foods, and certain medications since I was a kid, and recently found out my IGE levels are really high, around 1200. I take Techzine 5 mg every day, but I still get this burning sensation in my eyes, awful itching, and some red spots on my hands and legs whenever I have an allergic reaction. Should I be worried about my IGE being this high? It's freaking me out a bit, so any advice would really help.

Based on your symptoms and high IgE levels, it is important to continue managing your allergies. In addition to Techzine 5 mg, you can also consider adding Allegra 180 mg once daily to help with the itching, red spots, and burning sensation in your eyes. It is also advisable to avoid triggers that worsen your allergies, such as dust and certain foods. Monitoring your IgE levels regularly with your doctor is recommended to track your response to treatment.
