I'm feeling a little concerned because I've noticed a pulsing sensation on the right side of my neck. It's like I can actually see the pulse, and I think it might be from my carotid artery. It's only happening on the right side. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Feeling a pulsing sensation in the right side of your neck, particularly if it corresponds with the carotid pulse, can be due to several reasons. It might simply be your normal carotid artery pulse, which can sometimes become more noticeable due to factors like anxiety, increased heart rate, or hypertension. However, if the pulsing is new, pronounced, or accompanied by other symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, or visual changes, it could indicate an underlying vascular or cardiac condition that requires evaluation. It would be prudent to consult your healthcare provider for a thorough assessment to rule out conditions such as carotid artery disease or other vascular abnormalities.

View allI'm a bit confused about my recent heart tests and need some advice. I had a TMT test that was positive a few months ago, and even after showing it to a cardiologist and doing an echo test, which was normal, they still suggested an angiogram because the TMT stayed positive. When comparing the latest TMT results to the previous one, it seemed slightly better but still came back positive. So, I went for a coronary angiogram and found out I have double vessel disease. The plan mentioned possibly needing a PTCA with a stent in the mid LCX RCA. I'm wondering if managing it with medication, diet, meditation, and exercise might be an option, or if the stent is really necessary. I don't have any symptoms like chest pain, hand pain, or dizziness, and my blood pressure and sugar levels have been under control for years. What do you suggest?
Based on your medical history and the findings from your tests, it is important to follow the treatment plan given by your healthcare provider. In addition to the PTCA with stent procedure, it is crucial to adhere to a healthy lifestyle which includes medication, diet, meditation, and exercise to help control your condition. The prescribed medications such as Aspirin, Clopidogrel, Atorvastatin, and Metoprolol will help in managing your condition. It is also essential to follow a heart-healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, engage in regular physical activity as advised by your healthcare provider, practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation, and maintain a healthy weight. Regular follow-up appointments with your cardiologist are necessary to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
