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've been experiencing some sharp pain that starts at my belly button and shoots down towards my legs, especially after I clean or put pressure on my belly button. It's so severe that I often need to take the day off to rest. The pain seems to stretch from my navel down to my inner legs and even to my feet. Any idea what might be causing this? It's really starting to worry me.
The sharp pain from your belly button radiating to both legs, triggered by cleaning, pressing, or applying pressure, may indicate an umbilical hernia, umbilical cord granuloma, or omphalitis (navel infection); however, another possible cause is an ilioinguinal nerve entrapment or irritation, which can cause pain in the lower abdomen, groin, and inner thighs; consult a general surgeon or a primary care physician for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I've been having narrow stools for about a month now. They're not super thin, but definitely thinner than they used to be. Sometimes they go back to a normal size, but other times they're still pretty narrow. Should I be concerned about this?
It's important to rule out any underlying causes. I recommend you try using a stool softener like Colace (docusate sodium) to help with your symptoms. Take 100mg of Colace orally once a day. Additionally, increase your fiber intake and stay hydrated to promote healthy bowel movements. If your symptoms persist, consider seeing a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

I'm having a tough time with acidity. I've been dealing with a burning sensation in my upper stomach and it often makes me feel breathless. Sometimes I even have to catch my breath, and I've noticed this happening for about 6 years now. There's occasionally a wheezing sound and I often feel bloated too. Could all these symptoms be connected and what should I do about it?
take tablet zerodol and tablet pantop for 3 days
