Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM.
GERD could cause such symptoms, its advised to refer to a gastroenterologist a barium swallowing study would be beneficial, an endoscopy has a stronger diagnostic value.
The septoplasty redoing will not solve the difficulty in swallowing problem since the issue now is more with the esophagus.
hope that helped.
