Have Pain In Collarbone After Drinking Vodka. What Could It Be?

Hi
I've noticed that often immediately after drinking alcohol, I experience a pain in my collarbone. Upon noticing, I've tried it out with a few different drinks and observed that this tends to happen with vodka but not with some other drinks of a similar alcohol volume, such as tequila. Online, the only concrete answer I've found is lymphoma, though allergy has been vaguely suggested. I was hoping to find any alternative suggestions so that I can see my doctor without worrying too much!

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

I hope you are not taking any drugs now. Some drugs with alcohol can cause disulfiram like reaction.Pain in collarbone after taking some drinks may be due to the other additives in alcohol also or due to effect of alcohol itself. If you dont have any other problem like weight loss, feeling uneasiness, swelling in neck or any other regions then there may be chance of lymphoma but you don't have any problem. So don't worry now, get examined by your doctor.

Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care.

Regards
Dr. Lohit
