Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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.

What Does Severe Pain In The Armpit Indicate?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Pain in the arm pit may be due to boils or carbuncle or ingrown hair or muscle strain or shingles or swollen lymph nodes or breast cancer etc until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
