What is going on with my chest or heart

Hi I don't know weather it's my chest or heart so best to ask you guys. I've had a blood test which shows my chesterol is standard.

Right every now and then I get like a sensation on my chest area under my ribs mainly on the right side of the chest it fells like buzzing virbration in the chest. Also my heart rates jump up and down. Rests between 60 to 80 sum times can go as high as 110 also when I walk around it goes up to 90

Both are normal, depending on condition and medications.

I trust you're seeing a doctor, you had a chest X-Ray, someone requested that. The X-Ray will reveal fluid accumulation in the lungs and around the heart, and many other things. The vibrations to the right, if you mean far right, are probably fasciculations, but take your pulse while you feel the vibrations to be sure you can't feel it in your pulse as well.

The best bet if you think it may be your heart is to start with a visit to the doctor. Most people's hearts are pretty well centered, with the ventricles angled down to the left.

As you walk around, an increase from a resting pulse is expected, 75 beats per minute resting would be fine. I take a Beta Blocker, it makes my pulse slow at 60, but it's only that slow due to the medication.

Besides your heart being in your chest, so is quite a bit of other muscles. There are muscles between your ribs, known as intercostal muscles, and they expand the ribs for breathing. Your diaphragm is also in there, and other chest muscles. Muscles (not the heart though) sometimes experience fasiculations, or in English, small areas of muscles that sometimes flutter. I suspect you are feeling these fasiculations.
