I'm feeling a bit worried about my recent bilirubin test results. The direct photometry reading was 0.36 mgdl when it should be between 0 and 0.30, and the indirect calculated bilirubin was at 1.6 mgdl, higher than the normal range of 0 to 0.9. My total photometry was 1.96 mgdl, outside the 0.30 to 1.20 range too. Could you help me understand what these numbers mean? Also, I'm wondering if these levels might affect my health in any way, particularly when it comes to having intercourse. Should I be concerned about anything specific?

I'm experiencing chest pain, probably due to gas acidity, and it feels uncomfortable. I even have cramping pain in my abdomen that doesn't seem to go away, lasting until the next day. Plus, after every meal, I notice some gas forming. Should I be concerned, or is there something specific I should do to manage this better?

You may be experiencing symptoms of gastritis or acid reflux. I recommend taking an antacid medication to help with the acidity and gas. Additionally, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor to reduce stomach acid production. It is also important to avoid spicy and acidic foods, as well as eating smaller meals more frequently. If the symptoms persist, please consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because my histopathological report for a tuberculosis ultrasound-guided biopsy came back negative, but my CT scan shows I have enlarged lymph nodes and tuberculosis. I've been on anti-tuberculosis treatment for over three months, but I'm not seeing any improvement. My abdominal pain is getting worse, especially in the upper abdomen. Could it be something else? The biopsy was negative for cancer, and Buscopan injections don't relieve the pain at all. Only Tramadol helps. What could be causing such severe pain, and are there any tests that could help figure this out? Someone mentioned a capsule endoscopy - could that be useful?
