I'm having a really hard time breathing because of this gas and my chest feels really heavy. I'm pretty sure it's because I haven't been eating and sleeping well, and now I've got this terrible gastric problem. Can you help me figure out how to ease this?

I'm a bit concerned about my bilirubin levels. My recent test results show my total bilirubin serum at 0.80 and direct bilirubin serum at 0.28. Is this within normal range or should I be worried? Would love some guidance.

I've been really worried because I used to have this habit of eating slate pencils when I was a teenager, like from age 15 to 17. I gave it up for a while, but just recently, I found myself eating about two boxes this year. Lately, I've noticed that my bowel movements have been off, going to the toilet three times a day, and I'm wondering if eating those pencils back then or even now could be the cause. Does the slate pencil get expelled naturally, or is there something more serious going on? Should I be considering some kind of treatment or operation to get it out of my system? Who should I talk to for help with this? Any advice would be really appreciated!

it can be due to worms infestations and low calcium level so get your calcium kevels done and take albendazole 400 mg stat

I accidentally swallowed a small piece of a toothpick, probably about a quarter of it, and now my throat feels a bit strange. I dont have any other symptoms, but I'm a bit worried. Should I be concerned about this? What should I do?

Since you've swallowed a small piece of toothpick and aren't experiencing severe symptoms, monitor your condition closely, and seek immediate medical attention if you notice any signs of intestinal perforation, such as severe abdominal pain, vomiting blood, or difficulty breathing; however, if your symptoms remain mild, it's likely the toothpick fragment will pass through your system without issue.
