I've just gotten my LFT and Lipid profile test results, and I'm kind of worried because the numbers seem high. My total bilirubin is at 2.1 mgdl, direct bilirubin is 0.5 mgdl, and the indirect bilirubin is 1.6 mgdl. Can you help me understand what these high values mean? Should I be concerned?

Based on these results, you may benefit from taking Ursodeoxycholic acid to help lower your bilirubin levels.

I've been dealing with this H. Pylori infection and gastritis, and I'm currently on treatment for it. Today, I've started experiencing some light chest pain and a lot of yawning. I'm really worried these might be signs of something serious like a heart attack. Could this be related to my current condition or something else?
no they are not symptoms of heart attack

I accidentally swallowed a small piece of plastic from an oregano sachet while I was eating pizza a couple of days ago. I'm not having any trouble breathing or swallowing, and my bowel movements seem normal. But I've been experiencing some acidity, like burps, a feeling of fullness in my throat after eating, and a bit of soreness. Should I consider getting an endoscopy, or is this something that might resolve on its own?
At this stage, its likely that you dont need an endoscopy. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult with your doctor for further evaluation.
