I've been having some discomfort on the left side just below my ribs for the past two weeks. It's really tender to the touch and gets quite painful. Plus, I've been experiencing a lot of stomach bloating, especially after I eat. It even affects my breathing at times, making it short, and my heart seems to race when my stomach is bloated. Does this sound familiar, and what might be causing these symptoms?

My bilirubin is 1.3mg, AST 165, ALT 91, and I have a cyst like a lipoma on my chest wall. The fine needle aspiration cytology report came back normal can I still get the lipoma or cyst removed with surgery even though my liver isn't in great shape right now? I've been struggling with alcohol addiction for 4 years and have been taking udiliv 150, two tablets a day for the past 15 days. Is udiliv actually helping my liver? I'm really worried about my liver health because of my alcohol use

Yes ,udiliv is really helping ,advised excision of lipoma,also alcohol cessation is advised.

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 recently got my full body test results back, and my bilirubin total is 1.81. It's a bit higher than the normal range, which I understand is between 0.2 to 1.2. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it, and what steps can I take to bring it back to normal?

No need to worry ,consume balanced diet and maintain healthy life style nad take Vit E supplements
