Could Dramamine Raise Bilirubin Levels?

I battle nausea on a daily basis, I have had my kidneys, appendix, gullbladder, stomach and upper intestines checked. Nothing. I take Dramamine from time to time when I will be in the car for a long period of time as just a precaution. My doctor called and said my bloodwork showed high bilirubin levels, my blood pressure always hovers low and I have been dropping weight. (Usually 132lb, now 112lb) I had been eating a decent amount but my weight won t change. My doctor diagnosed me with IBS but didn t give me any medicine. I also drink boost every day to supplement the food I m missing. Could Dramamine or boost raise my bilirubin level? What do I do? I am 17, I don t drink, don t have anything that is a causing factor .
