I've been having this sharp pain on the right side below my chest for the last couple of days, especially when I breathe. My blood pressure seems normal, but my pulse rate is over 100. I'm a bit worried about what could be going on. Can you help me understand what might be causing this?

Hey, so I've got some bilirubin levels here, and I'm a bit confused about what they mean. My Bilirubin Total is 1.95, Bilirubin Direct is 0.57, and Bilirubin Indirect is 1.38. I'm not sure if these numbers are something I should be worried about. Could you let me know which type of doctor I should talk to about this?
Consult with a Gastroenterologist or Hepatologist: This will help determine the underlying cause of your elevated bilirubin levels. Further Testing: The doctor might suggest tests such as liver function tests, ultrasound, or CT scans of the liver and biliary system to investigate the source of the issue. Lifestyle Adjustments: Depending on the cause, your doctor may recommend dietary changes, avoiding alcohol, or medication. If you experience symptoms such as yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark urine, abdominal pain, or fatigue, be sure to mention these when you consult your doctor.

I'm having to go to the bathroom 4 to 5 times every morning, and it gets worse if I eat outside or have anything spicy, which then gives me a burning sensation. With plain homemade food, it's okay, except for still having to go several times. My doctor says I have IBS and mentioned its a disorder rather than a disease, and apparently it can't be cured. Can you guide me on this? Is there anything I can do to improve the situation?
It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a medication like Dicyclomine (Bentyl) 20mg before meals to help reduce the frequency of bowel movements and relieve abdominal cramping. Additionally, you can try a probiotic supplement like Align once daily to help regulate your gut flora and improve digestion. It is also important to maintain a healthy diet with plenty of fiber and stay hydrated. Avoiding trigger foods like spicy foods can also help reduce symptoms. Regular exercise and stress management techniques can also be beneficial in managing IBS symptoms.
