What Does Severe Pain In The Armpit Indicate?

My 84 yr. old mother just told me last night she had a take your breath away pain in her left armpit; it swelled up she got really cold chills and got nauseated to where she got sick. She said she has had the pain like that before. Two weeks ago she had a EKG because it felt like someone schussing her so tight around ribs she couldn t breath.
