The other day, I had a salad with a couple of jalapeno slices in it. Seconds after consuming the first pepper, I felt a weird tightness in my chest, and started hiccuping. Just a couple times; then it went away.
The same thing happened tonight (only it was pizza this time, instead of salad).
I don’t recall this happening before, but it’s been a while since I had jalapeno peppers. Why would that happen? Some bizarre physiological response to spiciness?
