I doubt Anxiety for my case as well. I have this for 2 years up and down.
I will feel better when am happy and worse on sad or depressed.
Do you experience also tight neck upper chest pain some time?
When the medication started to work ?

have you considered it could be LPR? Laryngopharyngeal Reflux, often called 'respiratory reflux.' LPR can be combined with GERD, some people have both GERD/LPR, some people just have one of the other. It can cause all the symptoms you describe and it is made worst by anxiety also- I am a fellow LPR sufferer and I have a hiatus hernia. Read Dr Jamie Koufman's blog on LPR- https://jamiekoufman.com/silent-reflux/ which lists all the symptoms. I constantly get tightness in my neck and pain around my vocal cords, its like being strangled from inside out and chest pain. To note- anxiety can cause a lot of throat symptoms also like tightness shortness of breath etc. But LPR/symptoms from hiatus hernia are so stressful they then cause the anxiety also so its a vicious cycle!
