Dear Patient,
Experiencing a burning sensation in your stomach after consuming spicy food is commonly associated with acid reflux or gastritis. Spicy foods contain capsaicin, which can irritate the stomach lining, leading to discomfort.
UCHICAGO MEDICINE
The frequent urge to use the washroom may be due to the gastrointestinal tract's response to the spicy meal, potentially causing increased bowel movements.
VERYWELL HEALTH
While these symptoms are typically related to digestive issues, it's important to distinguish them from heart-related concerns. Heartburn, a burning pain in your chest, is often caused by acid reflux and is not related to the heart. However, if you experience chest pain accompanied by symptoms such as shortness of breath, sweating, or pain radiating to your arm or jaw, it could indicate a heart condition, and immediate medical attention is necessary.

Recommendations:
Avoid Spicy Foods: To prevent irritation of the stomach lining, consider reducing or eliminating spicy foods from your diet.
Over-the-Counter Antacids: These can help neutralize stomach acid and alleviate the burning sensation.
Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can aid digestion and reduce stomach discomfort.
Monitor Symptoms: If the burning sensation persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other symptoms such as chest pain, consult a healthcare professional promptly.
