    your digestive system is always working it doesn't matter if you are sitting,asleep,or even upside down. now as for swallowing you will be fine. your epiglottis will stop the food or drink from going down your wind pipe. when you swallow a waving motion of muscle contractions force the food down your throat even enabling you to eat upside down. have fun.

    There might be a greater risk of food going down your windpipe.

    No. You increase your chances of choking, but it's fine besides that.
