Yellow Spot In Eye, Pain In Abdomen And Ribs. Liver And Gall Bladder Test Normal. Suggestion?

I have yellow in my eyes but it doesnt cover my whole eyeball. The yellow is only where my eye lids cover my eyes and the corners. What is it? also I have been to the doctor to get checked out because of this problem along with chest, abdomen pain and pain under the ribs. I ve also had a light colored stool (soft/ liquid) for almost a year now. The doctors did test on my liver and gall bladder and everything came out fine. I have over built stomach acid all the time and it feels like im going to vomit because its in my throat after I eat and I have an over eating problem. Please help me out im so scared im dying. thank u!!

Hi,
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
your problem is quite mysterious, yellow discoloration of conjunctiva is known to occur in jaundice but you bilirubin if found to be normal, it can occur in antimalarial drug Mepacrine therapy but this drug is not used these days, it can be in hypothyroidism and hypercarotenemia as well or due to abnormal pigmentation due to drug or injury.
A local physical examination by an ophthalmologist will provide valuable inputs to the diagnosis.
You should not be panicked, the disease seems a local problem and not a life threatening one.
I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you.
Take Care!
