Okay, so for the past few years I've had this problem where I'd feel flem in my throat quite a lot everyday but it never gave me any bother that much, but for this past year, it's gotten a lot worse along with other symptoms. I always feel as if there's a lump in my throat which I cannot swallow or cough up, I constantly coughed up flem everyday, I cough very often everyday, a lot of times I would get shortness of breath as well as finding it difficult to breathe at times but not in a serious way but it comes without warning and scares me at times. I also get bad heart burns regulary but not everyday, sometimes, but not a lot, I would feel my chest tighten slightly but I mostly have tightness and soreness bother in my andomin which is always really strong and would stop me from doing whatever I'm doing at that moment and I have to take a break for a few minutes for it to ease down, and also sometimes I would have acid come up my throat or liquid I had drank previously and I wouldn't be running when this happens (as I hate running). Can someone help me achieve some answers? And should I see a doctor about this as I haven't seen a doctor yet. I'm 16 by the way.

You could try seeing a doctor but they're very often quite dismissive of heartburn type issues and tell you to just take drugs for it. You might consider seeing if you have a food intolerance because they are infamous for causing heartburn problems and digestive issues, plus a few others as well. Gluten is the biggest offender and a known cause of heartburn troubles. Dairy can also be a problem.
At a guess I would say your problems are caused by a food intolerance.

Yes, you should start by going to a doctor and explaining your symptoms.
These forums have helped me a lot. Through them I have concluded that I have GERD. Different doctors will tell you different things as many illnesses have crossover symptoms.
I would start to keep a journal of when this happens to you and what triggers caused it. Hopefully you can heal quickly as you are only 16.
