your symptoms do not sound typical of viral gastroenteritis. it is possible if you have esophageal irritation, spasms could occur. spasms can also occur without illness, if your symptoms persists and are bothersome, you notice food getting stuck, recurrent pain etc, consider seeing gastroenterologist for endoscopy or upper GI to rule out other disorders of motility of esophagus.
