I've just received a report showing my Bilirubin Direct level at 0.26. I'm really concerned about whether this is normal or if it's elevated. Could you explain what this means? Should I be worried about it?

I've been diagnosed with hiatus hernia and gastritis and my doctor prescribed meds but the pain hasn't improved much in the last week. How long does it usually take for the meds to work? Also wondering about the approximate cost for laparoscopic hiatus hernia surgery in Bangalore since I might need it if this doesn't get better

Around 4-6 weeks .Cost varies between 55k-1.5L.

I'm dealing with this annoying pain on the left side of my abdomen, and I think it might be some gastric issue. The weird thing is, it gets worse after I eat, and it's messing with my toilet routine too. What could be going on? Any insights would really help.
