I've been dealing with shortness of breath and acidity for about a week now. I saw a doctor who suggested Ranitidine, Diclofenac, and Ciprofloxacin. The meds help, but the symptoms seem to come back pretty quickly. Should I keep taking these meds? How long should I be on them, and do you think I need to get some tests done?

View allI'm looking at some of my recent blood work results, and I'm a bit unsure about what they mean. My total bilirubin level is 1.6, direct bilirubin is 0.3, and indirect bilirubin is 1.3. Everything else in my liver tests came back normal, but I'm still concerned if these bilirubin numbers could indicate any health issues. Could you help me understand if there's anything to worry about?
Your bilirubin levels are slightly elevated, primarily due to indirect bilirubin. This could indicate mild liver function changes, hemolysis, or Gilbert's syndrome if you feel well otherwise. Monitor symptoms and consult a doctor for further evaluation if needed.

I've been experiencing some discomfort in my anus while pooping, along with mucous coming out with my stool. This started a few weeks ago and got worse but then improved on its own. However, the discomfort is back over the last two days and today, there was a lot of mucous. While it doesn't hurt during pooping, I feel a sharp pain at a particular spot when using the jet spray. Is this something I should be worried about?
symptoms you're describing, such as anal discomfort, itching, mucous discharge, and sharp pain when using a jet spray, could be indicative of an anal fissure or a rectal abscess. *Possible Causes* 1. *Anal Fissure*: A small tear in the lining of the anus, often caused by constipation, diarrhea, or anal sex. 2. *Rectal Abscess*: A collection of pus in the rectum, often caused by a bacterial infection. 3. *Hemorrhoids*: Swollen veins in the rectum or anus, which can cause discomfort, itching, and mucous discharge. *What to Do* 1. *Consult a Doctor*: Schedule an appointment with a gastroenterologist, proctologist, or a primary care physician to discuss your symptoms. 2. *Stool Softeners*: Consider taking stool softeners, such as psyllium (Metamucil), to help soften your stool and reduce discomfort. 3. *Warm Baths*: Take warm baths to help relax the anal muscles and reduce discomfort. 4. *Avoid Jet Spray*: Avoid using the jet spray, as it may exacerbate the condition. *When to Seek Emergency Care* 1. *Severe Pain*: If you experience severe pain or discomfort that interferes with your daily activities. 2. *Heavy Bleeding*: If you notice heavy bleeding from the rectum or anus. 3. *Fever*: If you have a fever above 101.5F (38.6C). 4. *Difficulty Passing Stool*: If you experience difficulty passing stool or have a feeling of incomplete evacuation.
