Hot Sauce Weirdness

[Joe777fit]

Hello,
I am 30 years old, fit, and healthy.  Approximately 5 months ago I had a physical which was comprised of various blood work which resulted in no abnormalities.  However, recently while having brunch with a group of friends, I had a strange experience.  I was eating egg whites and potatoes doused with Cholula hot sauce.  For the record, I am no stranger to hot sauce. I use it almost daily.  I’m also frequently eat Mexican food.  While I was eating, I experienced a strange sensation in my throat.  I began to cough and found it difficult to breath through my mouth.  I attempted to drink some water and breath through my nose.  My attempts at breathing sounded like wheezing.  After a few seconds, I was able to breath normally again.  Later that day, I went to the gym and experienced no difference in my condition.  For dinner, I had Mexican food with Cholula simply to see what would happen.  I didn’t experience anything strange.  One symptom I did experience was an almost burning sensation in my throat.  Is this an isolated occurrence or should I be worried?  I also feel it’s important to note that in my 30 years of life I’ve never experienced asthmatic symptoms or been diagnosed as having Asthma or Acid Reflux.

Look, you can cough and choke for a minute drinking water.  Most likely you swallowed too fast without thoroughly chewing or your throat just tightened up for a moment.  Now, you probably noticed the burning sensation for one of two reasons:  one, you haven't been noticing that hot sauce or eating peppers does this because you like them and don't pay attention, or two, your throat was still a bit irritated from the earlier coughing.  Wouldn't worry about it unless it starts happening a lot, in which case, you might look to changing your eating habits.
