I tried to google my symptoms, and gastric cancer seems to present with these same epigastric symptoms. Needless to say, I'm concerned.

Yes, this definitely could be related to GERD.  A GERD-friendly diet is avoiding spicy foods, fatty foods, acidic foods (citrus, tomatos, etc.), alcohol, smoking, large meals, peppermint, etc.

I think so, I've tried to cut out most of the spicy stuff I regularly ate (I'm a hot pepper addict). I don't drink coffee or soda, or eat a fatty diet.

I didn't think this upper abdominal issue could be gerd related?
