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?

I'm feeling really worried because I got really dizzy and then started having Hematemesis. When I went to the hospital, they told me that my diastolic pressure is at 115. Also, I've noticed that my left rib cage is bulging more compared to the right side. Could you help me understand what might be going on?

My 67-year-old mom has multiple gallstones with the biggest being 8mm. She was told surgery isn't an option because of serious lung problems. She gets pain sometimes and takes painkillers. What else can be done for patients like her who can't have surgery

In high-risk surgical cases, dietary fat control and symptom-based management are options for gallstones; ERCP may be considered in case of complications.
