I am very worried I have barretts esophagus. For the past year I have had regurgitation (rarely acid). I dont believe I have had heartburn but I may have had it. I am really worried as I know this seems like a precursor to cancer which scares me a lot. My other symptoms are feeling a lump in my throat and when I think about it when eating I feel like my food is getting stuck in my throat. The food I burp is often not acid and often like a liquid which tastes like the food or sometimes water if I have just drunken water but after reading about Barretts I have become really worried.Also I have been clearing my throat consistently for a while which I believe is due to anxiety as it starts when I think about it but this has scared me as I am worried that the clearing of the throat may cause Barretts. I am 20 years old and quite a bit overweight which I am changing. Please any response would be very helpful.

Just ate felt fine and no reflux and then I kept burping and got acid reflux now freaking out.I also found this- https://gyazo.com/20a7db659c4de299fafdcd8fc08edc8e about LRPD which seems more like what I have than GERD I am so scared. Also the other day after throwing up my throat felt like it was burning quite a lot and I am afraid this could cause precancerous changes in my throat like the link says. Please anyone
