neck pain near carotid artery

pain in my neck? (possibly carotid artery?)?
for the past 2 times i’ve taken a shower I get this pain in the front of my neck near the artery there, and it seems to pulsate/worsen with my heartbeat or when I breathe deep. after I get out of the shower, it goes away after a few minutes. Any ideas what this pain might be? I’m going to see a doctor but I’d like to get an idea of the different possibilities.
Wow that is strange. My first suggestion would be to go to a chiropractor, he’ll be able to pop your neck (no it doesn’t hurt) and relieve any pressure that may be causing your pain; such as a pinched nerve for example. You can go to the doctor and get medicine but I’d also go to the chiropractor bc if somethings out of wack, this needs to be corrected. This way it will be corrected in 2 days instead of 2 weeks. Good luck
