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.

Question

I'm having some trouble with my digestive system and it's starting to worry me a bit. I've been noticing blood in my stool, and I often feel the urge to go to the bathroom multiple times, but my stomach still feels like it's not completely clear afterward. My stools have also become quite narrow. Could you help me understand what's going on and maybe suggest a stool test that I might need?

I've been having chest pain every day and even though my ECG was normal and I've done HRCT, chest ultrasound, and endoscopy, everything came back normal. But the pain and even a pain in my left hand just wont go away, and its not in a fixed spot. Sometimes I get shortness of breath too. A bunch of doctors have told me it might be GERD. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how to get better?
