The knife-like discomfort merits a careful medical exam; your doctor can help determine the cause.

While many times musculoskeletal causes are found for chest pain, the location and the possibility of symptoms being related to vital organs, such as heart or lungs, for example, make it critical to be properly investigated as the existing algorithms will rule out life threatening causes first.

Agree with Dr. P. Your mother should see her doctor for an evaluation. Women often have unusual symptoms from heart disease. Wish you and your mother good health!
