Can acid reflux cause a swollen tonsil for over 3 months and pain on the neck

I have had ongoing chest pain for over a year now.  I have been to the doctor for an EKG and CT scan and everything came back normal.  They suggested getting tested for acid reflux but in that time I have switched doctors and have not followed through with the testing.  About 3 months ago I got a swollen tonsil with slight ear pain.  The tonsil has been swollen constantly for 3 months, it does not cause alot of pain but it does feel at times like there is lump in my throat and a needle going through the tonsil.  Most of my chest pain occurs at night time or about 30 minutes after a meal.  At night I wake up sometimes short of breath and needing to recatch my breath.  Could acid reflux be a cause of all of these symptoms?  Also at times after eating I taste fluid in the back of my throat and have had some swollen lymph nodes that are very small in size but have stayed swollen with my tonsil. Any suggestions or possibility that these symptoms could point to acid reflux?
