I have heartburn, feeling something stuck in my throat, sometimes difficult to swallow food. is this GERD?

I'm 25yrs old and lately I been having heartburn, feeling that something is stuck in my throat, sometimes difficult to swallow food, and my throat is very painful. Is this symtoms of GERD or esophagus cancer or something else? Please advice.

Please, get to your doctor ASAP. S/he may want to refer you to a gastrologist. Whatever is your diagnosis, early treatment will give you the best results. Please do not wait. God bless.

The most-common symptoms of GERD are:
路 Heartburn
路 Regurgitation
路 Trouble swallowing (dysphagia)
Less-common symptoms include:
路 Pain with swallowing (odynophagia)
路 Excessive salivation (this is common during heartburn, as saliva is generally slightly basic and is the body's natural response to heartburn, acting similarly to an antacid)
路 Nausea
路 Chest pain
GERD sometimes causes injury of the esophagus. These injuries may include:
路 Reflux esophagitis鈥攏ecrosis of esophageal epithelium causing ulcers near the junction of the stomach and esophagus.
路 Esophageal strictures鈥攖he persistent narrowing of the esophagus caused by reflux-induced inflammation.
路 Barrett's esophagus鈥攎etaplasia (changes of the epithelial cells from squamous to columnar epithelium) of the distal esophagus.
路 Esophageal adenocarcinoma鈥攁 rare form of cancer.
Several other atypical symptoms are associated with GERD, but there is good evidence for causation only when they are accompanied by esophageal injury. These symptoms are:
路 Chronic cough
路 Laryngitis (hoarseness, throat clearing)
路 Asthma
路 Erosion of dental enamel
路 Dentine hypersensitivity[4]
Some people have proposed that symptoms such as pharyngitis, sinusitis, recurrent ear infections, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis are due to GERD; however, a causative role has not been established

Below is some information I found interesting, you may as well. Best of luck.

It does sound like GERD is a possibility. It's not a perfect fit, but it is very tough to diagnose over the internet. It sounds like something worth getting checked out though.

Could be either of the things you mentioned and it could be acid reflux. Have it checked out.
