No, your heart cannot physically fall into your stomach. In fact, all organs (except the brain) are held in place by either ligaments or bones and are surrounded by muscles. The brain stays in place because of the skull and being attached to the spinal column. The heart and lungs are protected by the rib cage and thoracic spine.
Abnormal --
Injury to a lung can cause a lung (one side) to rise out of its normal placement but it is still contained in the rib cage. The intestines can develop some abnormal placements, but this is unusual. The uterus in females, also as an abnormal finding, can tip forward or backward if the ligaments have been damaged. If the uterus is tipped, it can pull the bladder out of its normal position.
Otherwise, organs pretty much "stay put" from fetal development through old age and death.
