What causes shooting pains in ribs below left armpit? (where the side of bra covers?). pcp says not cardiac

Agree with your PCP: Cardiac pain most often is located in the front of the chest, the jaws, or in the back. It is virtually never felt as "shooting" pain. It could possibly be due to tight clothing, musculo-skeletal etc.
