Atypical: Gastroesophageal reflux disease typically causes heartburn and regurgitation. It also can be associated with difficulty swallowing, sensation food is stuck in throat, and bloating. Atypical symptoms include horse voice, abdominal pain, worsening of asthma symptoms, recurrent pneumonia, and symptoms like you're such as a tightening of the neck muscles. See your doctor to find out more. May need referral to a gastroenterologist or surgeon with experience and antireflux procedures.

More Dx: There are other medications that can be used along with diet modifications and\or surgical options. I would discuss the situation with your gastroenterologist further. There are diagnostic tests that may help determine the best answer. Without knowing what tests have been done so far it's hard to go further on this forum.
