Larger carotid artery

Question

Asked for Male, 18 Years

I can find my pulse in my neck just fine on both sides. However, when I move my fingers up the "tube" after I find my pulse my right tube feels larger in my neck then my left. Is this just my carotid artery that I'm feeling and is it just a little larger than the left side? Is it a swollen lymph node? Is it a tumor? I've had no symptoms or anything and am in good health
