You're experiencing a type of reflux. It could be acid reflux but it may be the less common laryngopharangeal reflux. This may respond to meds like omeprazole or famotidine but often doesn't. Nevertheless it's worth trying. An ENT specialist could evaluate & advise you. The need to take deep breaths without exertion is often a symptom of anxiety. Stress management therapy may be helpful for this.
