I'm really starting to worry because I've been experiencing breathlessness, especially at night when I lie down, and it's stressing me out. The CBC test showed my WBC count is 9700, and my IgE level is as high as 2700. Plus, I've got an absolute eosinophil count of 500 and an ESR of 31. Alongside all this, I've been having tingling and numbness in my hands and feet. I had an ECG, and it came back normal, which leaves me even more confused. Can you help me figure out what's going on and recommend any medication or treatment that might help?

I'm kind of worried about my health stuff lately. My weight's at 84.3 kg and I've been having this chest discomfort for about two years now. Last year, I saw a pulmonologist and got some tests done like an X-ray, CBP, IGE serum, and PFT. Everything was normal except my IGE serum level, which was 432.2 IUml. The doctor prescribed me Tab.FM 24 to take every night, but I never ended up using it. Do you think I should start taking the tablet again if my IGE level turns out to be high? And what are the symptoms of having a high IGE level?

Patient is advised tab augmentin duo 625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .

I've been dealing with constant sneezing for about a month now, and it's got me pretty worried. I don't really have any signs of a cold, but every time I sneeze hard, I feel this pain in my chest. I'm not sure if these things are related or what's going on. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about the chest pain when sneezing?

That could be Allergic Rhinitis.or sinusitis,visit ENT docotor for evaluation and appropriate management
