vibration in neck chest pains in center of chest

I'm 19 yrs old female. I've been having my heart race since I was 18. My heart doctor put me on the beta blocker atenol to slow down my heart and I've had a lot of tests done.I've had MRI I've had CT scan of chest. I've had blood work of my heart. I've had urine test done. I've had 2 Ecko done. I've had halter monitor. I've had event monitor. I've had EKG that showed my heart rythm changing going from fast rythm like 160 to slow rythm 80  I didn't see it but my doctor did I've had 3 cardiologist I still have chest pains sometimes when I laugh and like around nightime I'll get this bubbling or sizzling or like vibration feeling like when I put my hand across my neck where my coronary arterys are at and I can feel this only on one side of my neck its on the right side and when I listened thru thethoscope I could hear this loud sound coming from my neck like a loud washing machine on the side that is vibrating but I couldn't hear anything coming from the other side of my neck it was silent . It was like there was no whishing like on the other side of my neck and I get the chills a lot like after eating using the restroom walking around the house pretty much anything. My heart doctor diagnosed me with Inappropriate sinus tachycardia vs. atrial tachycardia and he told me that it will take 2-3 years to go away or I can have a heart procedure done I think its called a oblasion that is probley spelled wrong they would have to burn my sinus node in my heart to make it not go so fast but I think there might be something else that might be causing this fast heart rythm I think the vibration coming from my neck might have something to do with it but I could be wrong. I've been also having burning in my throat like really bad burning and my face will turn red sometimes like my cheeks will. My heart doctor also said that I have borderline blood pressure and on my EKGs it showed a fast heart rate upon sitting up, turning over,and standing and like my heart rythm changed and my heart doctor had to let me see another cardiologist that specializes in heart rythms My question is why is the left side of my neck quiet and the right side where the vibration is coming from so loud like a washing machine or is that how everyones coronary arterys sound? and I was holding my breath while doing this. My other question is why did my heart rythm change on the EKG. Is that what happens if you have IST?

Wow, you have a lot going on.  I wonder if the sound in your neck is Tinnitus.  Are you sure the sound is coming from your neck?  I have Tinnitus that came on with my heart issues.  Sometimes it sounds like its in my ears other times in the back of my head.  When Im feeling bad its a loud wooshing sound and on a good day it sounds like a high pitched hissing.  

I had vibrations in my lower torso from my waist down.  That was because of nerve damage so maybe you could recall if you were exercise or doing something strenous to maybe damage a nerve.  It took 3 months of Acupuncture to get rid of this.

Before being put on my heart med Propranolol, for years I would get this cold chill like symptom that would make a circle around my upper torso.  Where my bra would be.  It would happen at random times but was very annoying and would make me worry.  Since Ive been on the Propranolol it went away.

I get tachycardia starting 10 days before my period every month.  It get the worst 4 hours before my period starts spiking from the 70's to 120 or more laying in bed.  We have figured out that a lot of my heart issues are running with my ovulation week and the week of my period so this has been helpful in mental prep and anxiety.

Use the tracker on this site for a few months.  Document everything that happens to you every single day.  After 4 months you will see a pattern in your body and its pretty amazing.  I write everything down for a week and then log it in on the weekend.

Hope this helps,
Lucy

The only thing I can help with is the spelling for the procedure recommended, it is spelled :ablation.  Hope I got it right, I make the strangest typos.

The main arteries in the neck are called: carotioid arteries and they are the major arteries that travel up the neck and into the head and brain. They can develop constrictions on flow and blockage (very bad) and that, I believe can be heard. I don't know if that can happen on both sides, but I'd guess it happens on one side at at time even if it can happen on both sides.  I'm not stating that is what you hear in your neck, and it reads like you are getting expert medical attention, so there's little most of us on the community can add.
