Difficulty In Breathing, Light Headed, Seizure. Drinks Lots Of Soda. Treatment?

I have had two episodes of fainting in the last 5 years. None before that. I am a 69 year old male. In each instance I felt a little difficulty breathing and became lightheaded. Each instance occurred while I was sitting and each lead to a seizure. Any thoughts on causes or treatment? I have heard that drinking a lot of csoda could cause this. Also drinking very cold fluids.

Hi,
It seems that this might be due to some cerebro vascular insufficiency occurring at this age.
Consult neuro physician and get investigated.
Ok and take care.
