There is no problem. As with nearly everything, taking too much is dangerous, but other than that it just makes cakes moister and might help clean your teeth. If you have stomachaches, it will help relieve it, so it will actually help you.

Sodium bicarbonate is used as a leavening in breads, as an antacid for upset stomachs, as a buffering agent to adjust the acidity or alkalinity of a product, as a mild abrasive in toothpaste, and as an odor absorber.
Sodium bicarbonate reacts with acids to release carbon dioxide gas.

I've seen low sodium baking soda. I guess it's high in sodium. That makes it bad for people with heart conditions and such.

No, there is nothing to worry about. But don't forget, everything has a dose :-)
