Do I just have problems chewing or is it possible to have an unusually small throat?

I just read a question about hiccups and how the questioner stated that they get hiccups all the time. And that got me thinking about a problem of mine. I have a tendency to get things lodged in my throat. I’ll eat something and it will just stick there until it either slips through or I throw up. And this happens on average at least once a month (more than normal I’m sure). I explained my theory to my boyfriend that I thought my throat was abnormally small and that’s why I have trouble swallowing (He just chuckled at that). But I was wondering if I’m just a moron who can’t chew and swallow properly or if it’s possible there’s a medical explanation for it. Right now all signs point to moron.
