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.

I'm dealing with constant burps throughout the day for about a month now. I've visited the doctor three times and tried different medicines like Pantocid DSR and Rantac MPS for the first 10 days without any relief. Then, the doctor switched me to Sompraz L for another week, and now I'm taking Ganaton. I don't have any abdominal pain, I'm eating less spicy and oily foods, drinking plenty of water, and I don't smoke or drink. I go for regular walks and I'm not overweight, but I still feel like there's air bubbling up my throat, making me feel like I need to burp it out. There's no smell or taste to these burps, but it's messing up my daily life and it's really embarrassing around others. The doctor has now suggested I get an endoscopy this weekend to find out what's going on. Do you have any advice on what might be causing this or any tips on how to control it?
It's good that your doctor has recommended an endoscopy to further investigate the issue. You can continue with your current lifestyle modifications of avoiding spicy and oily foods, staying hydrated, and maintaining regular physical activity. These measures, along with the prescribed medications, may help alleviate your symptoms until the underlying cause is identified through the endoscopy.

I've been dealing with this weird feeling where my stomach always feels full, and I'm having shortness of breath. It's almost like there's something in my chest making it hard for it to relax and contract properly. Plus, my weight keeps going up and down really quickly for no apparent reason. Any idea what's going on?
