Hi.

Your symptoms could be associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which has symptoms like sensation of lump in the throat, bitter taste in mouth from regurgitation of food or liquid, heartburn, abdominal bloating, etc. If you have these symptoms then report to a doctor for a 24-hour pH monitoring.

Best wishes.
