I've been experiencing some pain right in the middle of my chest, and it's been happening whenever I eat spicy or non-veg dishes. It's been going on for a few days now, and I'm starting to get worried. Could it be something to do with the food, or is it something I should be more concerned about?

I recently had some routine blood work, and my liver function test showed that my direct bilirubin is a bit high. My total bilirubin is at 1.0, direct bilirubin is 0.3, and indirect bilirubin is 0.7. The SGPT is 19.8, and SGOT is 22, and all the other liver enzymes came back normal. Should I be worried about my liver? The anxiety is really getting to me.

Based on the lab results, there is no indication of liver failure. The slight elevation in direct bilirubin could be benign and may not be cause for concern. However, if you are experiencing any symptoms or have ongoing concerns, I recommend following up with your doctor for further evaluation and reassurance.

I've been dealing with hemorrhoids for months now and none of the over-the-counter treatments seem to help. Should I consider surgery at this point or are there other options I haven't tried yet?

Piles unresponsive to OTC medication may benefit from prescription creams, dietary fiber,or office procedures (rubber band ligation) before surgery.

I'm having these gas issues and it's causing some chest pain, especially on the left side of my chest. I've been taking medicine for it, but still, the pain comes and goes, like when I bend or sometimes when I take a deep breath. Could all of this be just because of gas?

That could be Gastritis or GERD once check with Gastroenterologist .
