I am a 63 year old female with a family history of heart disease. For the past several days I have been feeling a vibration on the right side of my chest. No chest pain, just an odd vibration. I also have a very loud pounding in my right ear, almost sounding like the surging of blood, when my head is turned a certain way. I have been told that I have plaque issues in both carotid arteries and that there is nothing that can be done because the plaque is at the end of the artery. I did have a TIA a year ago.I would appreciate any advice you would be kind enough to send my way.Thank you! BA Muellner
