Difficult: to say from what you have described. I would suggest you see a ENT surgeon or a gastroenterologist for a more thorough history and exam. If based on your history there is any concern about the anatomy of your esophagus the next step would likely be a barium swallow where you will be asked to drink a contrast agent while x-rays are taken.
