When you're lying on your stomach, your body weight is compressing the stomach and preventing it from filling properly and moving freely. As a result, food takes longer to digest, increasing the risk of heartburn and acid reflux. Lying down as opposed to sitting up makes the reflux problem even worse, since gravity helps keep stomach acid out of the esophagus when you're sitting upright.
Occasional heartburn is not dangerous. However, delayed emptying of the stomach can increase the risk of gastroesophageal reflux disease, a chronic condition which can result in esophageal narrowing, ulcers, and sometimes cancer.
