Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on the lipid profile report you have furnished, it states Total Cholesterol and Triglyceride levels are extremely higher than normal. LDL levels is within normal limits, yet towards higher range and HDL levels are low. This indicates dyslipidemia.
It is not related to the pain you are experiencing below left collar bone.
You can control your lipid levels by means of diet and exercise. Pain could be due to muscle sprain and can be overcome by taking analgesic medication.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
