Exam needed: I recommend an examination of your throat by an Otolaryngologist. You could have a pouch called a diverticulum in the back of your throat.

Can GERD cause choking sensations? I deal with a tight throat sensation, food stuck in throat feeling and also struggle with health anxiety that would sometimes make me gag when my throat feels so tight from stress?

Can GERD give you tight throat sensation and choking feeling sensation? I went to the ER since I thought food was stuck in my throat, but they never checked the inside, but said I can eat, drink and talk. Which means most likely nothing is there?
