I recently had my bilirubin levels checked, and I'm a bit worried because my total bilirubin is at 2.5. My direct bilirubin seems fine, but it's my indirect bilirubin that's high at 2.2. Everything else like ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, total protein, albumin, globulin, and the AG ratio is normal. I had jaundice about four months ago, and I'm wondering if this could be related. What could be causing this high indirect bilirubin, and is there anything I can do to bring it down? Would really appreciate some advice.

View allI've been taking Claribid 500 for a few days now, but I've started experiencing some upper abdominal pain. It's been about three days, and I'm also finding it hard to breathe properly. Could this be a side effect of the medication? Should I be concerned, or is this something that'll go away on its own?

I've been taking Dulcoflex for about a month now to help with constipation, but I'm noticing some weird side effects. I'm going to the bathroom a lot more often and I'm always hungry, even after eating a big meal. I've also noticed I'm losing weight and there's some itching around the anal area. I've done a bunch of tests but everything comes back normal. Could you suggest what might be going on or recommend some medication that could help? I'm really worried about these symptoms.
The symptoms you're experiencing, such as high urination, excessive hunger, weight loss, and anal itching, despite normal test results, may be related to the laxative Dulcoflex (bisacodyl); consider stopping or reducing the medication and switching to a fiber supplement like Psyllium Husk or methylcellulose to manage constipation

My dad has an 11 mm gallbladder stone and we're really worried about his health. Is it dangerous for him? Should he consider surgery or are there other treatment options? We're not sure what to do next.
Gallbladder stones can be dangerous if symptomatic; surgical removal is usually advised, especially if there's a risk of complications.
