You should ask about getting a swallowing study done to find out what's going on because that isn't normal. It might be an esophageal stricture or spasm that can be fixed.

It's probably just that I have a small mouth and throat.

If they are proportional to each other, you shouldn't really be able to get more in your mouth than your esophagus can handle. There are some conditions that make the esophagus tense up wrong instead of making peristalsis.

that should only result in smaller bites, definitely not pain unless you're trying to swallow whole chestnuts

Maybe uncomfortability is a better word?

still shouldn't happen if you're chewing food properly
