Any idea why Mexican food causes spikes?

Just curious, I've noticed others have posted that it causes spikes for them and am realizing (big Mexican lunch today) that it does seem to make my t louder for hours. What do you think is in that kind of food that would stimulate the brain?

 

Spices and chili, naturally !

 

Maybe high Sodium??

 

Yes I think it might be the sodium because that would draw moisture out of the inner ear? I have noticed that sometimes when I have a spike if I really concentrate on getting well hydrated it comes down. My doc said that what causes spikes is usually things that stimulate the brain. I had to stop taking my estrogen supplements because they cause a huge spike (estrogen is a brain stimulant as well as its other purposes). Of course some people's spikes are noise related, but mine don't seem to be.
