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 feeling some tightness in my heart, and after going to the cardiologist, they gave me prothiaden tablets. What exactly are these tablets for? I'm a bit anxious about what they do and why they're necessary in my case. Can you explain more about it?

Question

I'm having trouble finding the medicine Olmesar 3D as per the prescription I received. The composition seems similar to Tri Olmesar 20 that I have. Can I safely take Tri Olmesar 20 instead, or should I continue searching for the exact medication? I'm a bit concerned about switching without guidance.
