Hello

Your concern is wright.Spicy food is sometime not well tolerated from the stomach especially in persons who are not used to it.
In your case this kind of food might had cause a reflux or a light gastritis that you manifest it as a sharp pain that irradiates in the lungs.
You can take some anti reflux medications as Refluxend for sometime and avoid this food.
I don't think you need to do any test further.

Wish good health to you
Thank you
