GERD won’t effect the nasal passages unless you are sleeping with your head lower than your stomach. Try raising the head of your bed by putting something under the feet. 4 to 6 inches will help a lot. You can have throat problems because the acid is damaging the esophagus You need to go to a gastroenterologist and have an endo done to see how much damage is done and he can put you on medication for it.
Yes, GERD can cause such symptoms what we call them as extraintestinal symtoms. They get allright when gerd is treated.May be with a proton pump inhibitor like rabeprazole.
