Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The sensation of having something in throat , in reflux patient, may be a symptom of chronic faringitis from reflux disease.In this case he must continue the treatment for reflux.
However, you shouldn't ignore these symptoms, even if you think he is in great shape, in my opinion he must consult a cardiologist, to exclude cardiac origin of the problem or perform a neck ultrasound to check for possible local compression causes.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
