Get done ecg first to rule out cardiac cause.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
We need to rule out cardiac cause first for left left sided chest pain under collar bone, as your age is more (63).
So get done ecg first.
If ecg is normal then no need to worry for cardiac cause.
Possibility of musculoskeletal Pain is more.
Please let me know if you are having other symptoms like fever, cough or expectoration.
If these symptoms are present then you need chest x ray to rule out lung infection.
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
