Have gerd, noticed something that feels like obstruction in my throat that gets better when i burp. i also get sore throat and rib pain on both sides.

Swallowing trouble?: Swallowing trouble can reflect problems when moving food from mouth to upper esophagus (tranfer dysphagia) or when moving food down the esophagus (transit dysphagia). Partial obstruction of esophagus may "hang-up" dry solid foods but typically allow liquids to pass. Motility disorders may "hang-up" both solids as well as liquids.Consider globus, spasm, as well as eosinophilic esophagitis too here.
