Much more detail is needed to answer your concern. Gilbert is a benign (non-concerning) condition that will raise the bilirubin without symptoms or concerns.

Yes. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. The rise from 0.4 to 1.2 is concerning. A level of 1.2 by itself would not be a concern if that were your stable level. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
