Hello,
I have studied your case and I can assure you that your case does not seem due to cancer or clogged arteries. It is most probably the muscle spasm. I would suggest you do rest, avoid keeping the neck in the same position for a long time and hot water fomentation is also useful. Take muscle relaxant like Myoril or Myospaz daily for three days. If you are thinking that it can be some swollen gland then the best investigation is an ultrasound examination. I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other follow up questions.
thanks
