Question

I've been having this really uncomfortable acid reflux where I feel like throwing up or actually do after eating. I recently saw a doctor, who asked me to get a Bilirubin test. The results showed Bilirubin Total at 1.84 (range is 0.2 to 1.3) and Bilirubin Direct at 1.05 (range is 0.0 to 0.30). The doctor said it's Jaundice, but I'm not sure about that. Could you check out my report and tell me what the symptoms of Jaundice typically are?
