Strange esophagus symptom

I get a strange symptom in my esophagus. It is like a rising feeling of a bubble in my esophagus/throat. It can come on anytime but most often happens right after I begin eating or particularly when I am under stress. It can be severe enough to be jarring to my system and I feel a little weak afterward. It usually only lasts a second or two but occasionally longer which causes anxiety in that I feel that I may have some type of a seizure? I am particularly concerned about this being a life threating attack or a serious problem. My allergist has seen signs of Acid Reflex in my throat. Can this be a caused by that? I do not have the burning, indigestion or acid taste usually associated with GERD. Anticids help to a degree and my doctor suggested Prilosec. Are there any downsides to taking Prilosec? Your help in identifying the cause of the symptoms or any advice you can give is appreciated.
