I'm having some trouble with breathing and sometimes I feel like I'm choking when I eat or drink. It's really uncomfortable and sometimes even painful. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Question

I recently got my full body test results back, and my bilirubin total is 1.81. It's a bit higher than the normal range, which I understand is between 0.2 to 1.2. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it, and what steps can I take to bring it back to normal?

Question

I've recently had my gallbladder removed due to gallstones, and before the surgery, I was experiencing high levels of SGOT, SGPT, and bilirubin. An endoscopy confirmed the gallstones, leading to the surgery. Now, after the surgery, I've had three liver function tests over a 10-day period. While the SGOT and SGPT levels are back to normal, my bilirubin total is still around 2.3. Is this normal after having my gallbladder removed?

Question

I'm concerned because I seem to be passing motion about 4-5 times a day, especially after 12 hours of eating anything, and it happens more when I'm at the office. But when I'm at home, it's only about twice, like in the morning and evening. Why could this be happening, and is there something specific I should do?
