Hello, Thank you for trusting HCM. GERD could cause such symptoms, its advised to refer to a gastroenterologist a barium swallowing study would be beneficial, an endoscopy has a stronger diagnostic value. The septoplasty redoing will not solve the difficulty in swallowing problem since the issue now is more with the esophagus. hope that helped. Dr. Nazzal
