Hi
The red spots on your uvula may be a precursor of the aphthous ulcers and may not be related to GERD .

GERD causes the pharyngeal problems more than the problems with uvula.

I hope you do not have other intestinal problems like colitis or so, as this is found in many cases with the findings you have.
I find this answer helpful
