I have a lump and pain in my carotid artery why is this?

This needs: to be checked out!! DO NOT PRESS ON IT ANY MORE 9I know you have been) See a medical professional as soon as practicable! This does not fall into an ER visit unless the pain increases or the lump enlarges! Hope this is helpful Dr Z
