View allI'm really worried about this chest pain I've been having around the middle part, along with some light back pain in the upper area. It's been going on for like 23 days. I don't have a cough, but I do get a lot of burping. A couple of months ago, I saw a pulmonologist because of some mild chest pain, and my x-ray came back normal. He said it was probably gas. The thing is, I used to smoke for about five years but quit two months ago. Could the smoking have something to do with it, or is it really just gas causing this pain? What should I do next?
take tablet zerodol and tablet pantoprazole for 3 days

I've been dealing with IBS for the past 5 years, and honestly, it's been really tough. The symptoms like bowel discomfort, constipation, diarrhea, and constantly feeling like I need to go to the bathroom but can't, are just exhausting. I've done the endoscopy and colonoscopy, and my doctor confirmed it's IBS. They gave me some meds to try for 15 days, but unfortunately, I didn't feel any better. Is there any way to permanently treat this condition?
While there's no definitive "cure" for IBS, various treatments can help manage symptoms; consider consulting a gastroenterologist for personalized guidance, and explore options like gut-directed hypnotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, peppermint oil capsules, probiotics, fiber supplements, and low-FODMAP diets, which have shown promise in alleviating IBS symptoms, and in some cases, medications like antispasmodics, antidepressants, or laxatives may be prescribed to help manage specific symptoms.

I've just gotten my LFT and Lipid profile test results, and I'm kind of worried because the numbers seem high. My total bilirubin is at 2.1 mgdl, direct bilirubin is 0.5 mgdl, and the indirect bilirubin is 1.6 mgdl. Can you help me understand what these high values mean? Should I be concerned?
Based on these results, you may benefit from taking Ursodeoxycholic acid to help lower your bilirubin levels.
