You are probably over weight. Recumbent position promotes GERD.
Heartburn tends to happen after a meal. Dinner is often the largest meal of the day so you are more likely to have heartburn after this particular meal. If you lie down after dinner then this increases the risk for heartburn.
In general, to reduce heartburn, eat smaller meals, less fatty or lower calorie foods, don't lie down for several hours after eating, avoid caffeine, chocolate, and peppermints.

It’s likely to be acid reflux.
