I've just had some liver function tests, and my bilirubin levels came back at 2.9. Is this something to be worried about? Im not seeing any yellowing in my eyes or skin, and my urine doesnt seem too dark either. Who should I talk to for this? Any advice?

I'm having some discomfort and uneasiness around my ribs on both sides, and it even extends to my shoulders. I've been taking gastric tablets like ZENTAC every day, and I've had tests done for both heart-related and gastro issues. My endoscopy results were normal too. I'm still trying to figure out what's causing these symptoms. What other tests should I consider to get to the bottom of this?

do one routine test like complete blood count, liver function test, and chest xray

I've been noticing that after I eat even a small amount or just drink a glass of water, I feel really full in my upper stomach, but my lower stomach feels empty. It's kind of weird and sometimes my stomach even hurts. Also, I've been needing to go to the washroom every 3 to 4 hours after eating. Sometimes, it's like there's a lot of pressure for a bowel movement. What could be going on with my stomach?

That could be gastritis,take antacids and consume bland diet and more water to ease your stomach and take adequate rest
