Yes I've had problems at different times, depending what im eating. I don't eat chunks of things, I cut things up smaller and it helped.
I had various swallow tests done that indicated no abnormalities. That made me think that I should be in control of my swallowing. I have always eaten very slow, chewing very carefully. I still have liquids slide into my airway causing a choking cough. Sometimes I choke on my own saliva.

As the AI response above states, posture is a good place to start. I started putting a bit more mindfulness into eating. Just taking smaller bites helps, as does putting my fork down in between bites
