I'm only 19 years old and I thought I felt a thrill in my carotid artery so I used my stethoscope to listen to it and I hear the swishing sound characteristic of a bruit. This really concerns me but I have no medical insurance. I'm not sure what I should do. Any thoughts?Queryman, you could be right.  This is scary and I would love to see a cardiologist, but I have no health insurance and my family is poor to put it bluntly.  This poses an issue in receiving health care.</blockquote>
