I've had a benign carotid body tumor on the left side of my neck for 4 years now, about 30x29 mm in size. I didn't go for surgery and have been managing it with ayurvedic treatment to prevent it from growing. I'm also exploring homeopathy. Sometimes I get palpitations and pain, but only when I have colds or coughs. Should I be worried about these symptoms or consider other treatment options?

Given the tumor size and symptoms, re-evaluation by a head and neck surgeon is advisable despite alternative therapies.

One can still enjoy pasta, just do portion control and go for whole wheat, which will increase your fiber, vitamins, minerals and reduce any resulting blood sugar spike (when compared to white pasta).
