I'm noticing a visible pulse on the right side of my neck, and I'm worried it might mean somethings wrong with my heart. Could it be related to my thyroid issues? What other symptoms should I keep an eye out for, and what tests would you recommend I get done? Any guidance would be really helpful.

Is there a difference in total lipid profile results when a test is done fasting versus non-fasting? A week ago, I got my lipid profile checked and all the parameters were within the range. But after taking another blood test post-meal seven days later, the values were outside the desired range. Could you guide me on whether fasting or non-fasting results are more accurate?

There won't be much variation, ideally fasting results and considered to be valid, In your scenario, that could be lab error also, visit your doctor for evaluation and appropriate management
