I'm really worried because I've been feeling a lot of discomfort in my chest, especially at the back, and sometimes I even vomit blood. My appetite is almost gone, and there's this burning feeling in my chest and lower abdomen. What could be causing all this?

View allI've recently had my gallbladder removed due to gallstones, and before the surgery, I was experiencing high levels of SGOT, SGPT, and bilirubin. An endoscopy confirmed the gallstones, leading to the surgery. Now, after the surgery, I've had three liver function tests over a 10-day period. While the SGOT and SGPT levels are back to normal, my bilirubin total is still around 2.3. Is this normal after having my gallbladder removed?
After gallbladder removal surgery, it is not uncommon for bilirubin levels to be slightly elevated. However, a total bilirubin level of around 2.3 may still be within the normal range depending on the reference values used by the laboratory. It is important to monitor your bilirubin levels closely and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation if needed. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Ursodiol to help with bile flow and digestion post gallbladder removal.

I've been dealing with this issue where whenever I eat, it feels like the food gets stuck between my chest and upper stomach, even though I don't have any acidity or pain. My pulmonologist had me on some meds like rablet d and ab flo, and while they helped a bit, they didn't really fix the problem. My chest X-ray came back normal, so that's good, but I'm pretty confused about what's going on. Just spoke to a friend who's a cardiologist and he thinks it's something to do with motility and stomach stuff, so he recommended a course of ganaton total for five days. I started that today, but I'm still feeling like I need to take a deep breath every few minutes. I've also been taking steam at night. Do you think this new medication will help clear up whatever's going on? I'm a bit anxious about what's causing this and would love some advice.
It sounds like your symptoms might be related to gastric motility or reflux issues, and Ganaton Total could help by improving stomach movement and relieving any discomfort from food getting "stuck." Since you're not experiencing pain and your chest report is clear, it's good that you're already doing yoga and walking. If the discomfort persists or worsens, further investigation into motility or digestive issues might be needed.
