I notice a burning feeling in my throat when i haven't eaten anything in a while. (1hour+) i do not think its acid reflux as eating relieves it. ?

Nonspecific: There is no specific diagnosis, but it doesn't sound dangerous. If your concerned, see your primary care to have a look inside. Also ask if a referral to an ENT specialist is appropriate. Hope this helps!
