How often do people normally get heartburn?

I love spicy food, but it seems like every time I eat mexican, or at least really spicy food, I get heartburn which usually lasts 10-15 minutes unless I take an antacid. Is this normal?

This is normal for a lot of people. There are diets you can follow to minimize acid reflux but since you already know what foods set off your acid reflux it’s best to avoid these foods or anticipate heartburn and treat it.
