What Causes Nausea And Palpitations After Eating Spicy Food?

I was eating some chili with spices and shortly after began to feel a sweat followed by nausea. I didn t throw up but I did notice my heart rate rapidly ncrease even faster than what it would be for a regular jog. I ran cross country and swam since the 2nd grade. Is increased heart rate normal?
