Can gerd cause tightness at the bottom of your throat? can it also cause the feeling of something stuck at the bottom of your throat?

Maybe not just GERD: Further evaluation is key to determining if your symptoms are reflux-related or not. Also, if reflux, is it acid or non-acid material that is involved? Sometimes, pulmonary, ent, or dental issues are at play, ; sometimes dysmotility or gastroparesis is the issue. Are you sure your acid blocker dose is sufficient ; that you have been compliant with behavior ; diet restrictions to minimize gerd?

Yes: These are very common symptoms of laryngo-pharyngeal reflux (LPR). This may be the result of strong acid from the stomach coming high up and effecting the back of the throat with a common symptom-of a lump in the throat. The problem is often seen by an ENT doctor but I believe the definitive diagnosis and treatment should come from a GI specialist.
