Normal carotid artery velocity

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?
