Possible reflux: This sounds like it could be related to your reflux. Some people develop gastritis or esophagitis which are irritations and inflammation of the lining of either the stomach or esophagus from the acid produced by the stomach. When that acid comes up into the esophagus from reflux, it can cause this. It is often treated with medication. Please consult with your doctor for further evaluation.
