I'm having some really bad backaches at night, and it feels like there's gas building up in my back. When I press certain spots on my back, the gas only seems to release through my mouth, which is really odd. It normally doesn't release otherwise and it's messing with my sleep. This all started happening after I had a C-section. What could be going on? Is there something I can do to fix it?

Elevated bilirubin (6.2) with normal MRI suggests a non-obstructive cause.
Possible reasons:
- Hemolysis (red blood cell breakdown)
- Liver dysfunction (e.g., hepatitis, cirrhosis)
- Gilbert's syndrome (benign genetic disorder)
- Medication-induced (e.g., certain antibiotics)
Review your blood test report for:
- Liver enzymes (ALT, AST)
- Hemoglobin and hematocrit
- Direct and indirect bilirubin levels
Consult a hepatologist or gastroenterologist for personalized evaluation and guidance.

View allI'm worried about my total bilirubin level, which is 1.56. Does that mean I have jaundice, or could it be something else?
A total bilirubin level of 1.56 mgdL is slightly elevated, but it is important to consider the normal range and context in interpreting this result. The typical normal range for total bilirubin in adults is around 0.1 to 1.2 mgdL, To get a clearer picture of your liver function, it is helpful to check other liver enzymes such as AST (SGOT), ALT (SGPT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and GGT. If these are elevated along with bilirubin, it may indicate liver dysfunction.

Was dealing with COVID back in April and felt better by May. Havent had any issues till now, but for the past 45 days, my stomach's been feeling really tight like Im constipated. Not much gas is coming out, even with rantac 150mg. There's also this chest tightness and occasional pain, especially on the left side and in the middle bone of my chest. Is it just gas, or could it be something else? I'm kinda worried.
