Hello and welcome to HCM,
Examination of the throat is required to look for any mass or lesion that is causing the feeling of something stuck in the throat.
The source of blood in sputum could be from respiratory tract or from throat.
Thus, examination of the larynx with direct and indirect laryngoscopy is required.
In case no lesion is detected on laryngoscopy, examination of the respiratory tract can be done.
Pain in stomach can be due to gastritis, indigestion, bloating etc.
Associated burping suggests indigestion.
If no lesion is detected in throat and respiratory tract then probably the symptoms are due to gastric problem only.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja Puri
