I also have the first three lines of symptoms you describe, and I have GERD. But those symptoms occur when my potassium drops, and it drops very low at times. I'm not sure if the gerd has anything at all to do with it. My gerd causes me to cough, I don't have heartburn and I finally had surgery to repair the hernia. I have to return later, I want to flesh this out a little better and I'm getting heavy eyelids.
