View allI'm really worried about my dad. Ever since he had an angioplasty about 20 days ago, he's been dealing with a lot of vomiting. It seems like he can't keep any solids down, except for fruits, ragi malt, and some dosas. Should I be concerned, and what might be causing this?

I've been dealing with this gas trouble in my chest for a while now, and it just doesn't seem to go away. Every time I breathe in, I feel this pain. What should I do about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of gas trouble causing chest pain. I recommend taking an antacid medication such as Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg tablets. You can take 2 tablets as needed for relief of gas and chest pain. Additionally, simethicone-based medications like Gas-X can also help relieve gas symptoms. Make sure to avoid foods that can worsen gas such as beans, cabbage, and carbonated drinks. If the symptoms persist, consult with a doctor for further evaluation.

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.
