Could this be GERD related? Hello, a while ago I spoke with a friend who had GERD, and lately I think I may have it as well. Feeling a slight pressure in the chest, upset stomach sometimes and coughing. I also notice like a lump in the back of my throat, and sometimes when I cough a little white phlegm appears, so I don't know if it's GERD related, tonsils stones or something else. Anyone else with the same issue? Thanks

I can relate. I have had GERD symptoms for about 4 months. Including food getting stuck half way down, hard time swallowing, hard time burping and when I do burp relieves pressure also have lost 80 pounds in 4 months. I have had a scope, barium swallow all that came back just fine so my GI dr had basically told me it’s not anything to do with heartburn and I’m suffering daily! I take a GI cocktail witch relieves pain for about 20 minutes then comes right back. My chest gets super tight and it feels like my chest is gurgling. All these symptoms are not heartburn/GERD according to the professionals? Also I get super dizzy and lightheaded all threw out the day. Any advice would be helpful.
