What A Feeling Of Tightness In The Sides Of The Neck?
I have been feeling a tightness in the sides of my neck, about where my carotid arteries would be. Sometimes it feels like a pain or pressure and in my jaw slightly. Just wondering if this means anything? Should I consider going for an ultrasound of my carotids?

Hi,
No, it does not mean anything do not worry. It is probably a muscle strain or pain that will go away by time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
