I've been keeping an eye on my bilirubin levels after they were recorded at 1.84 a couple of months ago. They've improved a bit to 1.52, but I can't help but feel anxious because the progress seems slow. Should I be worried about this pace of improvement?

View allI've been thinking a lot since they found a stone in my gall bladder during an ultrasound last month. There's been a bit of pain that's bothering me, and I'm kind of worried. Is surgery to remove the gall bladder the only way to deal with this, or are there other options I should consider? Any advice would be great!

I'm feeling a really sharp pinching pain right when I start to have a bowel movement. I've dealt with constipation before, but this pain is new to meand it first happened even when I wasnt constipated. There's no medication I'm taking that could explain this. Any ideas on what might be going on?
That could be due to hard stools consume plenty of water and fibre rich diet to avoid constipation,if its becoming worse visit physician for appropriate management

I'm curious about drinking water and sleeping; does drinking water before taking a nap or going to sleep at night affect digestion? How long should I wait between drinking water and sleeping to avoid any issues?
It is generally fine to sleep after drinking water, both during the day or at night, as long as you don't drink excessive amounts right before lying down. Ideally, it's best to wait 30 minutes to an hour after drinking water before going to bed to avoid discomfort or indigestion. Drinking moderate amounts of water does not typically cause digestive problems, but drinking too much right before sleep can sometimes lead to bloating or frequent urination during the night.
