Lump near carotid artery

I have pain under the jaw near the hyoid bone. I was prescribed a nerve pain medicine. Since few days I have been pressing too hard on right carotid artery as the pain is just near it. Can pressing or rubbing carotid artery too hard, several times in few days lead to some serious issues? Like tearing of artery or anything?

I'm lean and usually I can clearly see my colar bones,with less uper body fat. I recently observed that my right neck pulse is more visible then the left. The right carotid artery seems to be clearly visible. I can see it much clearly when I bend my neck back. But only on the right side. Is that serious?

I was checking for my pulse randomly and my right carotid artery feels larger than my left. I've had no issues with health and have had no symptoms. Could this just be my anatomy or are there underlying problems.

Im a 16 year old female. Ive noticed whenever I do exercise for a while, my left carotid artery pulsates so strongly it hurts. I got my bloodwork done earlier this month, I went to a cardiologist and lung doctor, and nothings wrong except I have costochondritis. I get a little lightheaded and a few headaches a week tho that might be genetic. Thanks
