I'm a bit worried about my latest blood test results. My total bilirubin came back as 1.7. Is that considered high? Also, my SGPT and SGOT are both 20. Do these numbers mean I might have jaundice? I'm just trying to understand what's going on with my health.

Total bilirubin level of 1.7 is within the normal range (normal range: 0.3-1.9 mgdL). SGPT and SGOT levels of 20 are also within normal range. These values do not indicate jaundice. No treatment is required for these values.

I've been feeling something like a lump in my throat since I had COVID back in August. It's been almost 5 months now, and it's not going away. Sometimes it gets so bad that it makes me feel breathless. My general physician said it's acid reflux and suggested taking Rabium DSR on an empty stomach for 10 days, but I haven't seen any improvement. Can you recommend any other medications or solutions? I'm really curious and a bit worried about what else might help.
