Abnormally-large carotid artery.

Question

Asked for Male, 37 Years

I have an abnormally-large right carotid artery. It is three or four times the volume of the left, which is normal in size. When it was discovered, the technician thought emergency surgery was necessary, but another doctor said it wasn't an issue. What are the potential concerns going into the future? I am a relatively-healthy 37-year-old white male with no family history of vascular disease. My only concern is that it aches during exercise.
