I'm looking at my bilirubin levels and trying to figure out if I should be worried. My direct bilirubin is 0.4, indirect is 0.6, and the total is 1. Does this sound normal, or is there a chance I should be concerned about jaundice or anything else?

Based on your bilirubin levels, everything seems to be within normal range. Direct Bilirubin of 0.4 mgdL, Indirect Bilirubin of 0.6 mgdL, and Total Bilirubin of 1 mgdL are all within normal limits. There is no need to be concerned about jaundice at this time.

Question

I'm experiencing some discomfort and it's making me quite worried. I recently dealt with a lower respiratory infection which is now better, but I've been having these digestion issues since. After I eat, it feels like there's gas building up in my chest. It's strange because there's no pain, just a lot of discomfort. Lately, I've been feeling this tightness or gas build-up in my throat area, or maybe it's the food pipe, again without any pain but really uncomfortable. This tightness is mostly around the lower throat, and sometimes I feel it behind my sternum. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do about it?

Question

I'm having some issues with my stomach. It's been feeling upset, and I'm getting these sour burps. Plus, my stomach just feels really full, like nothing's moving right. I'm not sure if I should take any medicine for it, or if eating something right now would help or make it worse. Could you advise on what I should do?

Question

I've been experiencing really bad stomach pain lately so I went to see a gastroenterologist. They prescribed me LMX 500 and Rabesec 20 for a 5-day course. It's been 3 days now, and I'm still struggling with heavy gas and now a sharp pain in my back. Should I consult my doctor again right away, or is there something I can try at home to help with this? Any advice would be appreciated.
