A member asked:

Is going to sleep on a full stomach bad? what long term effects could it cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It can lead to esophageal reflux. Long term reflux can lead to a condition known as barrett's esophagus. Long term reflux gets treated with acid blockers. Long term acid blockers can lead to nutritional deficiencies, more importantly vit B12 deficiency. Long term B12 deficiency can lead to neurocognitive decline.
