I'm a bit worried after getting my ECG and 2D echo reports, which show I have diastolic dysfunction and some narrowed nerves. Can you tell me what this means for my health? Is there a specific treatment I should consider, and should I be concerned about any serious issues?

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.
