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.

Schedule an appointment with a urologist to evaluate the lump and pains.
Given the lump's long-standing presence and recent pain, it's essential to rule out potential issues.
Possible causes include:
Epididymal cyst Spermatocele Varicocele Testicular torsion (unlikely, given the lump's long history)
Avoid self-diagnosis and seek medical attention for a proper evaluation and peace of mind.

View allI'm really concerned about my husband's heart; his heartbeat is always too fast. He says it's been like this since he was a child. Should I be worried about this?
Hi, if your husband's heart rate is consistently fast, it is important to have him evaluated by a doctor to determine the underlying cause. One common condition that can cause a fast heart rate is supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Medications like Metoprolol (25-100mg) can be prescribed to help control the heart rate. However, a proper diagnosis is necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

I'm a bit confused and worried right now. My ECG report showed 206uV in the aVR lead with some ST elevation, but both the echostress test and MRI came back normal. The doctor told me that everything's fine, but I'm still concerned. Could you help me understand why there might be an elevation in the ECG, even when other tests seem normal?
"Based on the information provided, it seems like you have ST elevation in AVR on your ECG report, but your echo, stress test, and MRI results are normal. If your doctor has reassured you that you are fine, you may not need any specific treatment at the moment. However, it is important to follow up with your doctor for regular check-ups and monitoring. If you experience any new symptoms or concerns, please consult your doctor immediately."

I'm really concerned because my cholesterol is still high even after changing my diet and starting to walk regularly for the last four months. I was really hoping these changes would help. My doctor prescribed Rosubest 10mg, and I'm worried about whether this medication could affect my liver. I had a grade 2 fatty liver before and my LFT blood report showed inflammation. Could taking this tablet make that worse? Just trying to get a sense of what I should look out for.
Rosuvastatin (Rosubest 10mg) can potentially affect liver function, especially with a pre-existing grade 2 fatty liver and elevated LFTs; however, your doctor may have considered this risk and prescribed it under careful monitoring; ensure regular liver function tests (every 6-12 weeks) and report any symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, or abdominal pain to your doctor, who may adjust the dosage or consider alternative treatments.
