Swallowing problems, epigastric pain, belching are signs of what disease?

Ask
Hello doctor! I am 18 years old this year, no one in my family has ever had esophageal cancer. No smoking or alcohol either. Have a history of stress or anxiety. Recently, my throat feels dry, swallowing saliva is difficult but not painful, epigastric pain and chest tightness, belching. By the time I can still eat and swallow as usual without difficulty, the doctor asked me what is the disease? For the past 2 days, it hasn't stopped making me feel so anxious.
