Pain in carotid?

Posted , 6 users are following.

Hi All,

Yet another symptom that if I google, perimenopause is one of the links that comes up.  Has anyone experienced pain in your neck - right on the carotid artery?  Its called carotidynia.  I recently had several ultrasounds of my neck so I know there is no blockage.  But I still have the weird pain.  Just wondering if anyone else has felt it.
