What Does A Swollen Carotid Artery Indicate?
I have recently had a scare with a enlarged mass in my neck. Had a ctrl scan and doctor said it is my carotid artery is large. He says it s not anything to worry about, just the way I am made. Should I be concerned about this since it has recently gotten larger?
