I'm a bit concerned about my bilirubin levels. My recent test results show my total bilirubin serum at 0.80 and direct bilirubin serum at 0.28. Is this within normal range or should I be worried? Would love some guidance.

View allI've had three endoscopies and the reports show a hiatal hernia. Right now I'm on Sompraz L and don't have burning sensations, but my chest feels really heavy and uncomfortable. The cardiologist checked me for chest pain and all tests even the chest X-ray came back normal with no heart issues. Still, the chest pain won't go away. Do I need surgery for the hiatal hernia or is there another way to manage this?
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
