newbie here, looking for advice

I hope there is someone that can shed some light on what is going on in this body of mine, last christmas i was eating peanuts when i felt that i had one stuck in my throat, couldnt get rid of it so went to bed thinking by the morning it would of gone, it hadnt the feeling was still there, eventually went to doctors, they couldnt see any thing but said my throat looked rather red and inflammed, tried antibiotics , then some kind of anti stress drug to try and relax my throat eventually after 8 months they sent me to the hospital, i had some kind of tube put up my nose so they could look down my throat, was told it was clear and that is was probably gerd and to go home and take gaviscon, i got use to the feeling and it didnt bother me to much, then this christmas woke up and i had lost my voice (well almost ) i was extremely hoarse few days later i started to feel burning in my chest and back, before i lost my voice i kept getting this taste of like peppermint in my mouth, the burning got a lot worse and i felt like it was going from my tongue to my stomach , i also had i also had a really bad hollow feeling in my stomach like constant hunger pangs the doctor said with heartburn the taste would be bitter i dont seem to be able to find out why i now get this very strong taste like i have chucked a bottle of peppermint oil down my throat i can also feel this peppermint taste in my chest, the only thing that relieves it is eating but as soon as i finish eating the taste comes back and it also feels like at times someone has lit a fire in my chest if any one has any idea what this could be i would be really grateful
