Recently i have developed a bad case of acid reflux disease, which makes prostrating myself problematic, since placing my head below my abdomen causes stomach acid to move up into my throat, which can be very dangerous (possibly leading to throat or esophageal cancer). What should be the proper Islamic approach for this situation?

thanks!
 
Please see https://islamqa.org/hanafi/darulift...-prostrate-sajda-due-to-injuries-in-the-head/ which is very similar to your situation.

The Fuqaha mention that if a person is incapable of prostrating in prayer at all (with his nose or forehead), then there is a dispensation in that he may carry out the prostration with head movements. This can be carried out by offering the prayer standing up or sitting down, although it is preferable to sit and make the movements for Ruku and Sajda. (Bada’i al-Sana’i, 1/105)
 
Thanks! I'm hoping my health situation is temporary but never knows such things.
 
May Allah grant you quick and complete recovery.
