What Causes Heartbeat At The Back Of The Neck And Feels Like Its Moving Head?

My daughter who is 14 feels her heartbeat at the back of her neck and feels like its moving her head. She does this on a daily basis. Could it be caused from tension or bad posture? She is 14 weighs 117lbs, she has asthma and was premature,weighing only 2lbs. She has a mild case of scoliosis in which her doctor hasn t ever seemed too concerned about. But at the very top of her back, I guess its the top vertebrae sticks out. I wondered if this could be causing her problems.
