Brief Answer:
CT scan of whole abdomen
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Since you are having stomach nausea and gas burning under breastbone for a month and your bilirubin is slightly high I would advise you to do a CT scan of whole abdomen.
If any space occupying lesion is found in the scan then biopsy has to be done to rule out malignancy.
For slightly high bilirubin you can take Ursodeoxycholic Acid 150 mg tablets twice daily after food for 3 weeks with your doctors advise.

I got cut off what are other possibilities I said my liver enzymes are normal and I reall y need some more information I will see a doctor on wed just would like to know if there are any better possibilities
Brief Answer:
Possibility of Gastroesophageal reflux disease
Detailed Answer:
Hi
You may be suffering from Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as your liver enzymes are normal.
Normally when you swallow your food, it first travels down the food pipe. A valve opens to let the food pass into the stomach, and then the valve closes.
With GERD, the valve does not close tightly enough.
Stomach acid and juices from the stomach flow back up into the esophagus causing stomach nausea and gas burning under breastbone.
I will advise you to take H2 blocker and proton pump inhibitor group of drugs with doctors advise.
You do not need to worry.
