I'm dealing with this stomach pain that's been going on for about 3 months now. It's on the left side of my tummy, near my hip. The worst part is, my tummy starts rumbling at night, keeping me awake. What could be causing this, and do you have any advice on what I should do?

It sounds like you're experiencing discomfort in your left lower abdomen, which could be due to various causes such as digestive issues, gas, or even something like an ovarian cyst. It's important to get it checked by a doctor to pinpoint the exact cause and receive the right treatment, especially since it's been ongoing for a few months.

I'm a bit worried about my recent blood test results. My indirect bilirubin is 1.24, direct bilirubin is 0.21, and my total bilirubin is 1.45. Should I visit a doctor for this? Is this something to be concerned about?

Based on the bilirubin levels you provided, it seems like your total bilirubin level is slightly elevated. It is important to determine the underlying cause of this elevation. In this case, you may need further evaluation by a doctor to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. One common cause of elevated bilirubin levels is liver or gallbladder issues. Depending on the underlying cause, your doctor may recommend specific medications such as Ursodiol to help lower bilirubin levels.

I've been having this pain on both sides when I breathe deep, and sometimes even with normal breathing, for a long time now. Its been going on for about 10 years, especially on the left side of my rib. Breathing feels difficult now and then, but theres no wheezing, just some snoring. I dont feel overly sleepy during the day, but I've been having some ongoing gastric issues. Theres been no weight loss or loss of appetite. My chest was checked and cleared by a pulmonologist, and my echo test was all good according to the cardiologist. My blood pressure is normal too. Is there something else I should be looking into or considering?

Considering your symptoms and medical history, it is possible that you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or inflammation in the chest area. I recommend trying over-the-counter pain relievers such as paracetamol and skeletal muscle relaxants such as baclofen or chlorzoxazone
