Pain 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?
