Question

Hey, I've noticed that I can easily find my pulse in my neck on both sides, but when I slide my fingers up a bit, the right side feels like there's a larger tube compared to the left. I'm wondering if this is just my carotid artery and if it's normal for one side to be a bit bigger. Could it be something else like a swollen lymph node or a tumor? I haven't had any symptoms and feel generally healthy otherwise, just curious about this difference.

Question

I'm really concerned about my dad's health after he got a stent put in during his angioplasty this April. He's planning to stay with me for 23 days, but we live in a house with two floors. I'm worried about whether it's safe for him to be climbing stairs. Could you advise on whether that's okay for him?

Question

I'm worried because my pulse rate has been really high even when I'm just restinglike around 105 to 115. Also, for the past three days, I've been having shortness of breath, and I know I have mild asthma, but I'm not using my inhaler right now. What can I do to lower my pulse rate to normal?
