I'm Nilesh Jain from Mumbai, 35 years old. I don't have diabetes, but I've got cervical spondylosis. Lately, after lunch, I've been having loose motions. It happened yesterday as well, went four times, and noticed my stool was a very dark brown. Could this be a sign of a heart attack?

Loose motion and dark brown stool after lunch are not typical signs of a heart attack. In your case, it may be related to your diet or other gastrointestinal issues. However, it is important to monitor your symptoms and stay hydrated. To address the loose motion, you can take over-the-counter medication like loperamide (Imodium) as directed on the package. If the problem persists or worsens, it would be advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been doing annual medical tests and noticed that my Bilirubin levels are always high. Aside from that, everything else seems fine. My recent test results showed a Total Bilirubin of 2.57, with 0.63 Direct and 1.94 Indirect. Also, my 25OH Vitamin D Total is really low at 8.99 ngml, while the normal range is 30-100 ngml. Is this something to worry about? Do I need to make any changes? I already practice yoga for about 10 hours a week. What do you think?

May be you have congenital hyperbiliubinemia. Vitamin D supplementation is required
