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 having this non-cardiac pain on the left side of my chest for years now. I've done various tests like X-rays, ECG, blood tests, and PFT, and they all came back normal. The doctors tell me it's nothing to worry about and suggest I just need to distract myself. Some have even mentioned it could be gas. But this pain feels suffocating, and it usually hits when I'm resting and thinking about it. Strangely enough, I can run for an hour without any issues. It's just really frustrating and concerning. Any idea what could be happening?
It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal chest pain, especially since all your tests have come back normal. This type of pain can be caused by inflammation in the muscles or joints in the chest wall. To help relieve your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the painful area and practice relaxation techniques to help manage any stress or anxiety that may be contributing to your symptoms. If the pain persists, you can also try using a topical pain relief gel containing diclofenac, applying it to the affected area up to 3-4 times a day. Remember to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the product packaging.

I'm really worried about my dad who's been dealing with acidity issues for the past 10 years. He's been taking Aciloc for a while now, and I can't help but wonder if there are any natural remedies or home cures that might help instead of relying on medicine. Also, are there any side effects from taking Aciloc for so long?
While Aciloc is effective in managing acidity, there are also some home remedies that can help alleviate symptoms. For example, he can try consuming smaller and more frequent meals, avoiding trigger foods like spicy or fatty foods, and maintaining a healthy weight. Additionally, drinking a glass of cold milk or eating a banana can also provide relief from acidity. As for the side effects of Aciloc, common ones may include headache, dizziness, diarrhea, and stomach pain. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional if any side effects persist or worsen.
