What are the heart disease causes & risk factors?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
With time, raised blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels and nerves that control the heart. Additionally, people with diabetes are also more likely to have other conditions that raise the risk for heart disease such as high blood pressure and deranged cholesterol or triglyceride levels.

View allHey, 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.
