I'm really worried because I've been dealing with this acid reflux ever since I quit smoking about a month ago. Its become quite uncomfortable, and sometimes I even have trouble breathing, which gets worse when I try to exercise. Im not sure if there's any medication I could take to ease these symptoms, or if it's important that I visit a hospital right now. Any advice would be really appreciated.

I recently got my liver function test results and I'm feeling a bit unsure. The results show my total bilirubin is 0.7 mgdl, direct bilirubin is 0.4 mgdl, and indirect bilirubin is 0.3 mgdl. I noticed that my direct bilirubin is 0.1 mgdl higher than the indirect bilirubin. Should I be worried about this? Is there anything specific I should be doing or looking into?

No need to worry everythis is normal ,consume balanced diet and maintain healthy lifestyle

I'm going through some digestive issues and could really use your advice. My bowel movements aren't regular, but when they are, they're pretty loose. I've been taking medication, and that seems to help with the consistency, but then I get these gas problems. Interestingly, these gas issues seem to ease up after I've had a bowel movement. I'm really trying to figure out what's going on. Could this be some side effect of the medication, or is there something else at play here?

-It sounds like you're experiencing irregular bowel movements, with loose stools when your digestion is regular and gas buildup. It's good that the medication helps with this, but the gas issue seems to clear up after using the restroom. You might want to
