What Does IGE Level Of 145 On A 158 Scale In Blood Test Indicate?

I am having continual problems with allergies, asthma and cough. (I have been seeing an allergist for about 8 years.) I am even having more reactions to my allergy shots. The allergist just tested my IGE level with a blood test. The result was 145 on a 158 scale. I am just trying to figure out if that needs other attention. As I look it up in random places online, the numbers are all over the place, clearly not on a 158 scale.

Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that you might not be suffering with the allergies, it may be secondary to the infection, or eosinophelia. As the IgE is low doesn't represent the allergic reaction.
I advise you to consult a chest physician for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms cifixime,levocitrizine,montelekast,triamcinolone40mg injections every fortnight. If necesory bronchodialators.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
