What causes 30 second pinching pains on lower part of left breast below nipple, and to the side close to armpit? fear cardiac, pcp swears heart ok.

Unlikely heart: That would be an unusual way for heart pain to show up. Breast pain is often caused by caffeine or hormone fluctuations. Try cutting out caffeine if possible.
