Are my symptoms GERD, Ulcer, Gallbladder, or heartburn?

I am having my preop upper GI in a couple of weeks, but I wanted to do some research before hand. I have been having problems with a tightness between my breasts and my shoulder blades. It also feels like there is food or something going up and down my esophogus. It doesn't burn, it is just uncomfortable. This usually happens after I eat. I have been diagnosed with GERD and was taking Protonix, but my PCP took me off it. It almost feels like I ate a really big meal and didn't chew my food properly, but that is not the case. What do you think?
