Start with PCP: It would be better to see your primary care provider for an initial assessment. Tell him/her all the medication you take, including herbals, supplements and OTC drugs. Stop taking Tylenol. Your doctor may test you for hepatitis. Wish you good health!

Acid reflux pain: Are you currently seeing a gastroenterologist? If yes, discuss your issues with that provider. If no, would recommend that you and your PCM review your labs & discuss pertinent medical history.
