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?

Maybe!: TAke some liquid antacid, like Maalox or Myanta to coat your throat and see if it helps. If so, may be due to GERD or other temporary irritation. Don't use generic liquid antacids, because some are truly awful tasting, in my experience. If this does not relieve your symptoms, get checked for other causes. Avoid spicy, greasy food, alcohol and caffeine till no problems for a week at least.
