I've just found out that my bilirubin levels, including total, direct, and indirect, are all high, and my homocysteine levels are elevated too. Should I be worried about this, and what could it mean for my health? What steps should I take, or what lifestyle changes might help manage these levels better?

Bilirubin count total, direct, indirect are high. Homocysteine level is high. High bilirubin levels can indicate liver or bile duct issues. You can take Ursodiol 300mg to help lower bilirubin levels. For high homocysteine levels, you can take Folic Acid 1mg along with Vitamin B6 25mg and Vitamin B12 1000mcg to help lower homocysteine levels. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided on the medication packaging.

View allI'm dealing with nonstop burping for the past couple of days, and it all began when I was doing some neck exercises. It just doesnt seem to stop. Could you please help me figure out whats going on and how I can make it go away?
The continuous burping issue, triggered by neck exercises, may be related to swallowing air, irritating the throat, or stimulating the vagus nerve, which can cause stomach contractions; to alleviate the issue, try the following: eat slowly, avoid chewing gum, drink water slowly, avoid carbonated drinks, apply heat to your stomach, and practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing;

I'm a mom to a 23-day-old baby and was diagnosed with gallbladder stones during my 8th month of pregnancy. Today I'm feeling pain in my upper abdomen again. The stone size is 9mm. Is it safe for me to take drotin tablets right now? I can't consider surgery at this stage with such a small baby
Drotin is generally safe post-pregnancy but consult your OB; manage diet and hydration, and avoid surgery if pain is mild.

I'm really struggling with my motions. For the past month, I've needed to go at least three times a day, and it's becoming quite an issue. Since I've been going to the gym for about a year and a half, I had to up my food intake, and it seems like that's when the motion problems started. I also have a gastric problem, and even though my digestion seems fine, I just constantly feel like I need to go. It's been tough to eat because of this sensation. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I might need to change to feel better?
