Hello my name is Diane. I have most of the same symptoms. The ones where you feel something in your throat it has taken me years to figure out my problem. With me my esophagus is sluggish and food wants to sit there. Mine is complicated by the fact that I don’t drink anything while I eat. So now I make sure I drink after I eat until I feel..and I can feel all the food is out of my esophagus. It causes terrible symptoms. I cannot eat and go to sleep at night it goes into my wind pipe so I eat earlier in the evening. Hope this helps. Diane.
