See a doctor : Your height should not affect the shape of your esophagus. Medical conditions such as achalasia or a hiatal hernia can. See a GI doctor.

Something's wrong: Here. Your esophagus does not form into s shape because of your height, no matter how short you are. You have something definitely wrong. This could be something serious. Please have your doctor refer you to a gastroenterologist, a specialist in the GI tract including esophagus and stomach.
