Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Your symptoms are not typical of an aortic dissection. From the other hand a musculoskeletal pain (stretched muscle ), a subluxation of the joint or a broken bone (clavicle) can not be excluded either.
Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician as soon as possible for a careful physical exam and some tests:
- a clavicle X ray study
- a chest X ray study
- a cardiac ultrasound would examine better your aorta and exclude an aortic disorder.
- some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation).
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Meanwhile, I recommend taking ibuprofen for the pain in the left clavicle.
If the situation worsens or if you can not consult with your general physician as soon as possible, I would recommend going to the ER for the above mentioned tests.
Hope to have been helpful!
I remain at your disposal for any further questions!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri

Detailed Answer:
Hello again!
The situation does not seem to be urgent. So, it can wait for you to consult with your doctor after the vacation.
I would just recommend trying acetaminophen or ibuprofen for the pain.
If it helps, it would indicate just a stretched muscle.
