<s>[INST] Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here... HI! my name is Steve and I live in Chile and my blood work came back pretty good. However, one test shows IgE Total 196 IU/mL and the chart says that for my age 41, this is high, yes? [/INST] Hello Steve, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. Yes, 196 IGE is high, but it is not that high that you should worry too much.2. To derive conclusion, I would like to know whether you have any symptoms. If you do not have any symptoms and IGE was only a lab finding, you should not worry at all, and I usually suggest my such patients repeat test after 6 months.3. If you have symptoms of allergies (allergic rhinitis, asthma, atomic dermatitis, etc.), I would suggest you allergy testing for specific allergens (allergy causing substances). Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards. </s>
