Could Tightness In Neck Be Related To Acid Reflux?

I have had a feeling of tightness in my neck all day, almost as if someone is placing their finger on my throat. It feels very tight, and this morning I thought I had a vitamin stuck there. It subsided this afternoon and is back tonight. I am not having trouble swallowing or breathing. Could this be acid reflux?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. In the initial stages of acid reflex, it is possible that you may feel neck tightness. This tightness is due to acid reflex problems for sure. I hope you are having medicines for acid reflex problems. In the later stages, because of the obsessive human nature, you may be ''feeling'' the neck tightness. In this ''feelings'' you will not experience any other physical symptoms of any other difficulties because these are just ''feelings'', not actual physical problems. Therefore I suggest you to ignore the neck tightness symptom.
