Gilbert's syndrome symptoms
Hi,
I'm 47yo male. Recently I had some blood work done and from what it looks like I may have Gilbert's syndrome. A lot of official information I've found online says jaundice is the only symptom. I've also read lots of stories of people who have all kinds of symptoms. Now I have anxiety and panic disorder and I have a lot of weird symptoms. What I'm trying to ask is what to people who have Gilbert's experience. If unconjugated bilirubin is toxic then there should be something other than jaundice. I'm just trying to get some answers. TIA

My MD diagnosed me with Gilbert's syndrome recently. Does anyone get any symptoms other than jaundice?

Thanks for the information. No I haven't looked in to teaching hospitals .
