Feeling tired and weak, nausea. High bilirubin levels. Had an open heart surgery in the past. Any suggestions?
Patient: I am a heart patient underwent open heart surgery 7 years back. I am a male aged 63 years. I am very tired and feel very weak. Unable to take my food and have vomiting sensation . My liver function  test indicates my Bilirubin total is 2.1 Mg/dl and  Bilirubin direct  is 0.6 Mg/dl. Kindly advice me what should I do now ? Thanks Doctor: hello  welcome to health care magic Elevated bilirubin levels indicates that your liver is not functioning properly or it may elevate because of increased breakdown of red blood cells.. You didn't mention about other symptoms like pain in the abdomen.. it is unrelated to your previous heart surgery.. kindly consult physician and do all the liver function tests..and according to him do an ultrasound.. hope you get satisfies with my answer. thank you Dr.siddartha
