Brief Answer:
Yes, better to take him to the emergency.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your description of the problem carefully.

A sudden onset of memory loss along with confusion and fuzziness in the head could indicate a stroke.It is best to take him to the emergency and get him evaluated without delay.

You can get back to me once he is evaluated in the emergency so that I can clarify any doubts you may have based on the test results.

Hope I have been of some help.

Wishing your husband a speedy recovery.

Regards.
