Can you figure out my diagnosis

My throat gets hoarse when I lay down or swallow a lot. It feels like there is air stuck in my throat when I lay down. I have difficulty swallowing after laying down for a few hours or minutes. Heartburn did happen before but It didn't happen in the past 1 week after the heartburn. It happened after I ate a lot of spicy steak from Chipotle. I also have to frequently clear my throat and my throat sometimes feels sore.

    You probably have acid reflux. Acid is refluxing from your stomach and is irritating your gullet and throat. Dont lay down too soon after eating anything, especially something spicy.If you suffer from this a lot try taking an antacid medication before you go to bed,or try moderating your diet. Its very common.

    Post Nasal Drip caused from either a broken nose in the past or allergies.

    Rhinitis would be the condition.

    That's my guess.
