Hi, I am concerned about a pressure type pain in the right side of my neck. I am a 53 year old male, I weigh 168 lbs and am 5'8". All my life I have lifted weights and other non-aerobic type exercise. earlier this year I began occasionally using treadmill and running for about 30 minutes, fast enough to sweat and breath hard. Sometimes when I do this it causes a pressure type pain on the right side of my neck - as I slow down, it subsides quickly and I can slowly speed back up and then the pain usually starts again. My medical history is scant - hay fever, a leg injury, hemoroid surgery, vascectomy, psoriosis. My family has a history of high blood pressure, and occaisionally my blood pressure has been as high as 90/130 when I have given blood, but I have not been on any medications of any kind.
