I've just had some blood tests done, and it turns out my bilirubin levels are pretty high. I'm a bit concerned about how serious this might be. Can you please guide me on who I should talk to about this, and what kind of precautions I might need to take? Would appreciate any advice!

A high bilirubin level can indicate liver issues or other underlying conditions. It's important to consult a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or hepatologist, for further evaluation. In the meantime, stay hydrated, avoid alcohol, and follow any advice your doctor provides.

I'm suffering from severe gastroparesis and the pain is unbearable all the time. Are there any surgical options available in India for this condition and where can I get treated?

Yes, surgical options are available in India for severe gastroparesis, but they are generally considered as a last resort after other treatments have failed. The most common surgical procedures include jejunostomy tube placement, gastric venting tube placement, and in severe cases, even a gastrectomy.

I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat near my collarbone for the past couple of days, and I've been dealing with some mild gastric issues too. Could these be connected somehow? Should I be worried, or is there anything I can try at home to feel better?
