This post may seem a bit long but please hang in there and give me ANY advice on what i may be going through. I cant take this anymore!!!

About 7 months ago i started experiencing minor acid reflux type symptoms after meals. Never any burning just air (belching). Over time, it has got progressively worse. Fast forward to now, i experience the following symptoms: 

Acid reflux (mostly air not burning) ALL DAY ... not just after meals 

shortness of breath

tightness in chest

forgetfulness 

trouble swallowing (not just food, mostly saliva) it seems this is increased when having acid reflux and increased anxiety situations

Heart Palpitations 

i have had the following tests done:

endoscopy (everything “looks” good)

bloodwork

ultra sound of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas

echo of the heart

stress test

taken acid reflux meds , didn’t work

ALL tests have come back “normal.”

During this time i was taking the following medications:

Lisinopril

Klonopin

hydrochlorothiazide

i have recently stopped all meds. Klonopin was last taken 1 month ago. Lisinopril and hydro last taken 1 week ago. Since i stopped the Lisinopril my heart Palpitations mostly went away (so far). 

Does anyone have a clue what i am going through??? The 2 things driving me crazy are the acid reflux and having a hard time swallowing the salvia. Almost feels like my throat is closing at times throughout the day and increases when i get anxiety. 

ANYTHING AT ALL WOULD HELP, PLEASE!!!
