Acid reflux - which doctor?

Asked for Male, 30 Years

For the past 3 months it feels like something is stuck in my throat. Problem in swallowing my saliva. No pain or difficulty in swallowing any food or liquid. Constant acidity and slight cough also there. As per consultation with head ent in nanavati hospital last month, he told only lifestyle changes are needed, if problem persists consult a Gastroenterologist. For past 3 days having slight problem in breathing also, oximeter reading shows normal 98. What could be the problem and which kind of doctor should be consulted?
