Dear Patient,
I totally understand your concerns about your health and the fact that you cannot tell what is going on.
However your case is easy to treat.
All your symptoms together are signs of reflux disease.
The sore throat is due to the acid burning your tonsils, and the white spots is due to the food that accumulates within small pores in the burnt tonsils, fermenting this tiny food particles making them white, and causing a bad breath smell.
the feeling of a bulge in your throat is typical for reflux, and of course the heartburn is known to be due to reflux.
In your case you must be treated with a PPI like esomeprazole 40 mg one tablet orally every morning before breakfast by 30 minutes. within a week you must start feeling a lot better.
Best regards
