GERD is a chronic problem
Your symptoms are for a shorter duration
Throat discomfort and FB sensation for a Short duration could also indicate acute pharyngitis
And what exactly the “same feeling in the upper abdomen” is
Pain or obstruction ???
Gastritis at upper abdomen presents with pain and not obstruction
Next Steps
Need you to have a teleconsultation with me for further assessment
