I've just found out that my bilirubin levels, including total, direct, and indirect, are all high, and my homocysteine levels are elevated too. Should I be worried about this, and what could it mean for my health? What steps should I take, or what lifestyle changes might help manage these levels better?

Bilirubin count total, direct, indirect are high. Homocysteine level is high. High bilirubin levels can indicate liver or bile duct issues. You can take Ursodiol 300mg to help lower bilirubin levels. For high homocysteine levels, you can take Folic Acid 1mg along with Vitamin B6 25mg and Vitamin B12 1000mcg to help lower homocysteine levels. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided on the medication packaging.

View allI've been dealing with GERD for about 7 months, and I've been switched between a few different antacids during that time. My symptoms have gotten much better lately, and my appetite is finally good again. But now I'm having issues with my menstrual cyclegoing from amenorrhea to oligomenorrhea over the past monthand I'm also feeling a bit drowsy. Could this be because of the Levosulpiride I'm taking? I'm not sure if I should keep on with the treatment or consider stopping it. What do you think?
Levosulpiride can indeed cause hormonal imbalances leading to menstrual irregularities like amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea in some cases. Since you have developed these symptoms after starting Levosulpiride, it is possible that it could be the cause. I recommend discussing this with your doctor to explore alternative medications for your GERD that do not have this side effect.

I'm really concerned because I've always noticed a bad smell in my mouth and nose. I've already seen a dentist, an otolaryngologist, and even enteric specialists, but they all say there's no problem. I'm not sure what to do next, and honestly, it's been really upsetting. Any advice on what steps I should take now?
Maintain oral hygiene and consume warm water during bed time, that will help in your problem of bad breath.
