I'm having some discomfort and uneasiness around my ribs on both sides, and it even extends to my shoulders. I've been taking gastric tablets like ZENTAC every day, and I've had tests done for both heart-related and gastro issues. My endoscopy results were normal too. I'm still trying to figure out what's causing these symptoms. What other tests should I consider to get to the bottom of this?

Question

I've been experiencing a really concerning issue whenever I eat. I get this severe pain in my chest, close to where my heart is, right after meals. It seems to get worse when I have spicy foods. Oddly enough, if I lie down immediately, the pain goes away. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Question

I've been feeling pretty rough with some nausea and fever on and off. I just got my test results back, and my bilirubin levels are showing a total of 1.3 with direct at 0.4 and indirect at 0.9. My SGPT is at 21.8 and SGOT at 25.9. Does this mean I have jaundice? I'm a bit worried and could really use some advice on how to manage my bilirubin levels.

Question

I've been having some digestive issues and I'm wondering if eating corn could be causing me constipation. I eat corn pretty often and would love to know if there's a natural remedy that could help with this. Any advice?
