Question

I had jaundice about a month ago, and my bilirubin levels were at 9.02 at the highest. How long should I wait before I can safely drink alcohol again? I'm really concerned about my liver and would love to hear your advice.

-Its best to avoid alcohol for at least 3-6 months after jaundice to give your liver time to recover fully. Since your bilirubin was significantly elevated, consult your doctor to confirm liver function has normalized before drinking.

Question

I've been having this non-cardiac pain on the left side of my chest for years now. I've done various tests like X-rays, ECG, blood tests, and PFT, and they all came back normal. The doctors tell me it's nothing to worry about and suggest I just need to distract myself. Some have even mentioned it could be gas. But this pain feels suffocating, and it usually hits when I'm resting and thinking about it. Strangely enough, I can run for an hour without any issues. It's just really frustrating and concerning. Any idea what could be happening?
