SWELLING IN COLLAR BONE IS NOT RELATED TO YOUR SYMPTOMS. SWELLING MIGHT BE DUE TO FRACTURE IN THE PAST. SWELLING IN COLLAR BONE IS MOST COMMONLY DUE TO MALUNITED FRACTURE.
ARE YOU SURE ITS MALUNITED BONE OR MIGHT BE ENLARGED LYMPH NODE.
REGARDING OTHER SYMPTOMS LIKE HEADCHE, DIZZINESS AND WEIGHT LOSS COULD BE DUE TO SOME LONG STANDING ILLNESS. EVALUATE YOUR SELF FOR ANY MALIGNANCY, ANEMIA ETC. ANGIOEDEMA DOESN'T FIT IN.
CONSULT INTERNAL MEDICINE SPECIALIST.
