Serotonin has many roles in the body including in mediating muscle constriction generally and in swallowing so sertraline may be affecting this, however, it is likely to be temporary. You may notice a range of unusual side-effects in the next week or two as serotonin affects many organs, but these are unlikely to be of significance. SSRIs don't often do any real harm.
