You may be suffering from cervical myofacial pain which can refer to throat and face. Such neck pain are usually not because of GERD. if you can find a point in your neck which is painful while pressing then that confirms the diagnosis. If diagnosis is confirmed you may need to do neck exercises and physiotherapy
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist and Orthopedics specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
