hmm... interesting that doctors said to cut all spice. was that a suggestion related to the sinus issues or related to the potential increase with the internal fire?
i actually got the info through researching for solutions during the last time i had stuffed up sinuses. i decided to try it out and my nose started running a couple minutes into the meal (which brought relief), but that could be because i am not big on spicy food.
oh... do you live in an area where there is considerable pollution? if you are training outside, that may be connected? if it is possible to try training indoors for a few days, that would tell you whether the outside air is playing a role (through pollution or pollen). if you could find a gym you might be able to keep changing the settings on a treadmill or use an indoor track as some universities have. this may not work for you, and if there is nothing blooming and no pollution it may not be the issue anyway.
i do know if we are allergy prone, living in a different place can make it worse at first while the body builds up immunity to the local pollen-producing plants. (of course the theories about allergies are sometimes controversial.)
