Not really: You might have exceptionally good muscle tone in the upper and lower esophageal sphincters. As long as there is no problem eating or drinking, i see no problem. If there are swallowing problems , throat pain, bloating, abdominal pain, problems with bowels, heartburn, and other issues, then see GI and ENT md's.
