Hey guys umm my doctor wont do crap about this because she has no clue what it is, but my throat constantly burns, we have established that it isn't acid reflux, strep, tonsilitus, or mono. Some of the other things that are happening are my heart keeps burning, the tonsils keep swealing to the point of where they are pushed under my jaw bone, and i get a bunch of stomach and chest cramps. Is there anything you think it would be? thoughts? concerns? Thank you in advance!

I think you should go back to your doctor and ask them to get in touch with a throat and nose specialist, or a specialist similar so they can really check you out, I don't really know what specialist would cover all areas affected. No one here is a doctor, and unfortunately can't help you. Even seeing a few different doctors for different opinions can help as well. Don't go by just one persons opinion.
Good luck, I hope you get it sorted out. :)

It sounds like viral pharyngitis, as this causes a sore throat and swelling of the tonsils and is relatively common.
However, as NotSoSilentHill said, don't rely on one doctor's opinion. Try and see another doctor or specialist.

I'm dealing with that right now almost every morning and day. There's no heat vent near my bed so it's always freezing cold. Could be from breathing in the dry cold (basement)) air.

I would definitely go see an ENT (ear, nose, and throat specialist) because it seems like your regular doctor does not know which end is up. A lot of times regular doctors miss things that an ENT can find right away. It is not normal at all for you to have the symptoms you describe, and you might need more advanced testing.
Not meaning to sound rude, but some folks who are sexually active and who have oral sex can have the problems you describe. If you are sexually active and have had oral sex, then be honest with your doctor because your problem may be related to sexual practices.

As others have posted it sounds like you need to see a specialist if for no other reason your doctor can't figure this out. Just curious why they didn't recommend removing your tonsiles if they become that swollen.

You should see an otolaryngologist. Your GP should be able to refer you. You really shouldn't trust the opinions of random teenagers on the Internet, seeing as no one here is a doctor.
