I've been having this really uncomfortable acid reflux where I feel like throwing up or actually do after eating. I recently saw a doctor, who asked me to get a Bilirubin test. The results showed Bilirubin Total at 1.84 (range is 0.2 to 1.3) and Bilirubin Direct at 1.05 (range is 0.0 to 0.30). The doctor said it's Jaundice, but I'm not sure about that. Could you check out my report and tell me what the symptoms of Jaundice typically are?

Jaundice can result from high bilirubin levels, and elevated direct bilirubin often points to liver or bile duct issues. However, your symptoms like acid reflux and vomiting could indicate something different, such as gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD), or another digestive issue. It is important to follow up with your doctor to rule out any serious conditions and to confirm a diagnosis. If you have additional symptoms like yellowing of the skin or eyes, or if your discomfort worsens, it would be critical to seek medical attention promptly.

View allI have a 31mm gall bladder calculus but my gallbladder wall thickness and CBD are normal. Is it possible to treat this without surgery? If I do get surgery, will the stones come back again?
Yes, it's possible to treat a 31mm gallbladder calculus without surgery, and the likelihood of stones returning after surgery varies. While surgical removal (cholecystectomy) is often the preferred treatment for symptomatic gallstones, non-surgical options like medication or percutaneous cholangioscopy may be considered. The risk of gallstones returning after surgery is low if the gallbladder is removed.

Ive been experiencing this pain that gets worse after eating, and its been going on for three years now. I had an abdominal ultrasound, but nothing unusual came up. Some days I dont feel any pain at all. Over the past three years, I've lost about 12 kg, but I've also started walking more, so maybe that's why. Im now 45 kg and I'm 5 feet 3 inches tall. Should I be worried about this weight loss, or does it seem like it's just from being more active? Any idea what could be causing the pain?
You may be experiencing symptoms of gastritis, which is inflammation of the stomach lining. This can cause pain that worsens after eating. Since nothing was found on the abdominal ultrasound, other possible causes could be considered such as acid reflux or peptic ulcer disease. Some common medicines available for gastritis include Pantocid, Omez, and Rabicip. These medications help reduce stomach acid production and provide relief from symptoms. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've been dealing with this left-side chest pain and I'm really worried. I went to the emergency room because of it, and while my ECG was normal, the doctor gave me some antiacid and anti-gas meds. It seemed to help a bit after a couple of days. A cardiologist later ran heart tests, which also came back normal, and he suggested the same meds. But today, the pain spiked again, and although it eased a bit after I ate and took more medicine, it's still lingering. I'm not feeling pain anywhere else, just in the left chest. I'm concerned about what could be causing this. Should I be consulting a different kind of doctor for better treatment?
Your SGOT (63) and SGPT (70) levels are slightly elevated, indicating mild liver stress. Bilirubin (1.26) is within normal range. To reduce liver enzyme levels: Consult a gastroenterologist or hepatologist for personalized guidance. Consider medications like: Silymarin (Livercare) to support liver health. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to reduce liver inflammation.
