Most likely, you will start emitting hydrogen gas, that's theoretically. As we know acid + metal gives you a salt +hydrogen gas. And knowing that sodium is a very reactive metal and being able to react strongly with water, imagine the explosion it'll cause in an acid. Needless to say, our stomach acid at 1.5 pH value. You will explode if it manage to reach your stomach. It'll most likely have already burnt your tongue as your mouth is full of moisture. Hope this helps =)
