Heartburn, swallowing with a feeling of being stuck in the neck with chest pain, what to do?

Ask
Yes hello doctor! I've been having heartburn, difficulty swallowing, something stuck in my neck and mild chest pain for about 3 months now. There is quite a lot of white mucus when spitting, lots of drool. I thought it was the stomach, when I went to endoscopy, the doctor said it was okay, but after returning, I still had the same problem. Tell me, heartburn, swallowing feeling stuck in the neck with chest pain, what to do? Thank you.
