Trouble Swallowing when Drinking

[Minns]

Firstly I'll start off that I'm a 26 year old Male that doesn't drink or smoke just slightly overweight.

As long as i can remember i'll randomly have difficulty swallowing almost like there is a burp stuck in my throat. I can go throughout the day and drink competently normally than have a random situation where it almost feels like i'm forcing down food or a burp. I've become hyper aware of my throat now and i'm always focused each time i drink or eat. In the end it's intermittent and never constant. I do also burp now after i drink more often. Sometimes i'll taste a like stomach bile or maybe stomach acid creeping up my throat. I told my doctor about this and all she said was change my diet and stop drinking caffeine. Just looking for any feedback on this. Scared it could be esophageal cancer.
