I've been experiencing this weird sharp pain in my stomach whenever I take a deep breath in, like yawning. It's really concerning me because my stomach is also feeling super bloated and hard. I'm just wondering what could be causing this and if it's something I should be worried about?

Could be a sign of gas or indigestion. I recommend taking an antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg tablets to help with the bloating and indigestion. You can take 2 tablets as needed, up to four times a day. Additionally, you can try Simethicone (Gas-X) 125mg chewable tablets to help relieve gas.

View allI'm a bit worried about the medication I'm taking. I've been on Metolar XR 25 for about 15 years now, and I've developed ulcerative colitis. I'm starting to wonder if there's a chance the Metolar could be causing it. Should I think about switching to something else?
Metolar XR 25 contains Metoprolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain. It is generally well-tolerated, but in some cases, it can exacerbate gastrointestinal issues such as ulcerative colitis. Considering your history of ulcerative colitis, it may be prudent to switch to a different medication that is less likely to aggravate your condition. I recommend consulting your doctor for a suitable alternative such as Atenolol 25mg once daily.

I've been feeling really bloated and full in my stomach lately, and there's this weird pulsating sensation in my abdomen. It's been hard to pass stool normally too, I only manage very little once a day. I tried taking Pan40 antacid, but it didn't seem to help. Do you have any advice on what else I could do or take to feel better?
-ounds like you might be experiencing symptoms of indigestion, constipation, or possibly bloating related to your digestive system. Since Pan40 didn't provide relief, it might be worth trying a stool softener or a mild laxative like Dulcolax or Lactulose

I'm looking at these bilirubin levels I recently got. The total is 1.79, conjugated is 0.57, and unconjugated is 1.22. Should I be doing something about this? Is there anything I need to be concerned about?
