I've had air stuck in my throat for several months and I'm burping a lot. Usually, it goes away, but tonight there's this pressure that's not letting up. When I drink water, it seems to help for just a moment, but then the air comes right back up. It's really making it hard for me to sleep, and I feel like I can't breathe properly with all this air stuck there. What could be going on?

Everything else in my liver tests came back normal, but I'm still concerned if these bilirubin numbers could indicate any health issues. Could you help me understand if there's anything to worry about?
