Muscle strain in neck lifting? Chalean Extreme

I am on my second week of Chalean Extreme. Which has 3 heavy lifting days and 2 cardio days. Last week after my first lifting day I noticed that I felt like I had a lump in my throat when I would swallow, right in the front in the middle, about where my adam's apple would be. At the time I just thought it was from allergies. However as it got worse and my upper back, between my shoulder blades started hurting too I wondered if it was from lifting. After about 4 days it went away.

Well last night I completed the first workout again and today I am feeling like I have a lump in my throat again after I swallow. Only this time it is a sharper pain and feels like it is radiating to my right shoulder blade. I do not think this is anything serious, but it does bother me and is semi-painful.

There are several exercises that I catch myself lifting my shoulders up and therefore I think I could be straining my neck. Anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?
