Hello
Thanks for your query. I understand your concern with the strange symptoms. The possibilities include hypoglycemia I.e kow sugar or hypotension I.e low blood pressure or panic attack which is an episodic anxiety attack. Hence I would suggest three consecutive days blood pressure reading and fasting post prandial blood sugar to rule out above two conditions. If negative then you would require a psychiatric evaluation for panic attacks. Hope you gained some clarity. Do clarify anything else that you might wish to.

This points towards peptic ulcer. Drugs like ranitidine oe omeprazole will help you surely. Ofcourse continue avoiding spicy food.
