I've been having this dull chest pain for about two weeks now, and I can't shake the worry. It's mostly on the left side and sometimes comes with numbness and pain in my left arm and shoulder. Plus, I notice it more after doing any physical activity. On another note, I've been having green stools for the last couple of days, along with bloating, gas, and constipation. I even tried taking Dulcoflex, but it just resulted in watery green stools. I had two ECGs done, and both were normal, so my cardiologist thinks its unlikely to be a heart condition. I'm also dealing with obesity, gallstones, and kidney stones, and I've been on meds for acidity and muscle pain for a couple of weeks without any relief. Im not sure what I should do next. Should I see a gastroenterologist or stick with the cardiologist? I'm really confused about what these symptoms could mean. What do you suggest I do next?

View allI'm dealing with jaundice and I'm a bit concerned. My total bilirubin level was 4.1 mgdl about 20 days ago, and now it's down to 0.89 mgdl according to today's report. Does this mean everything's fine now? My urine and the whites of my eyes still don't look normal. What should I do at this point, and is there a specific diet chart I should follow?
don't worry it takes time to come to normal

I'm a bit concerned about my stool patterns. I've noticed that while in the morning it's more solid, in the afternoon and evening it tends to be flat. Could there be any potential reasons for this?
Chest X-Ray Findings _Interpretation_ 1. _Prominent bilateral perihilar vascular markings_: This means that the blood vessels in the lungs, particularly around the hilar region (where the lungs connect to the heart), appear more prominent than usual on the X-ray. 2. _Normal findings otherwise_: The rest of the X-ray findings are normal, which suggests that there are no other significant abnormalities in the lungs or chest. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Increased blood flow_: Prominent vascular markings can indicate increased blood flow to the lungs, which may be due to various factors, such as: - High blood pressure - Heart conditions (e.g., heart failure) - Pulmonary hypertension - Anemia 2. _Other possible causes_: Less common causes include: - Pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs) - Pulmonary vein obstruction _Level of Concern_ 1. _Mild concern_: While the finding is not immediately alarming, it does warrant further evaluation to determine the underlying cause. 2. _Follow-up recommended_: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to discuss the findings and determine the best course of action. _Next Steps_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss the X-ray findings with your doctor to determine the next steps. 2. _Additional tests_: Your doctor may recommend additional tests, such as: - Echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) - Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) - Computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chest

I've been dealing with some gastric acidity for the past month, and I'm on medication, including 1 monticop tablet daily, 2 deriphyllin 300 tablets, and 3 rbson D capsules. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm wondering if there's anything else I can do to alleviate this issue or if a change in the medication might be necessary? Do you think these meds are contributing to my stomach problems, or is it something else I should be looking into?
yes continue the medicines if symptoms persist
