This started a few days ago, when I take a deep breath, I sometimes feel a pain in my sternum and in my right shoulder/clavicle. Most of the pain is in the clavicle though and it is especially present when laughing and sometimes with lying down or taking a deep breath. For awhile I could not even take a really deep breath but now I can.
On Saturday night/ Sunday morning I threw up from drinking too much and didn't notice any pain until about monday or tuesday so I doubt it's related but I don't know.
Does anyone know what could have happened? I'm not going to be going to a doctor as it's not enough pain to have me concerned.

A strained muscle more than likely.
Throwing up is a violent action and often people strain muscles, connective tissue around the ribs, etc.
When you breathe in, you expand the tissue that's been strained and that's what causes pain.

I would definatly go with the muscle strain, or pulled muscle. Especially since you mentioned you had vomitted.

I used to have this problem when i was pregnant and throwing up alot. Excessive vomiting can cause you to pull muscles.

It could be heartburn. Try taking a Zantac and see if this relieves the pressure.
