GERD: Possibly gastroesophageal reflux disease (acid reflux), which can occur without specific aggravation. Other aggravating factors are: peppermint, black licorice, carbonated/caffeinated beverage, obesity, tight paints at the waste, smoking... You can try orc Prilosec but should also see your doctor.

Gastritis : A burning sensation that is aggravated by spicy foods is typically gastritis (inflammation of the stomach). Recommend avoiding tobacco, alcohol, nsaids, caffeine, spicy foods, and take 14 days of Prilosec otc. If no improvement, see a gastroenterologist.
