ate two hot green chilies

He ate two hot green chilies and then began to _ under its impact.

What I wanted to say is that he was breathing in and out through his mouth repeatedly because he felt terribly hot inside his mouth. Is there any verb or phrase to describe it?

Hi,
No, 'hyperventilate' describes a more serious medical condition than would normally be caused by eating something 'hot'.
