Hi,
Cognitive symptoms like amnesia, confusion in the evening hours, dementia, or difficulty thinking and understanding have been associated with Parkinson's disease.
Also, other symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, poor balance, or restlessness are also known to be associated with Parkinson's disease.
However, it would be ideal to get your husband evaluated clinically by means of neurological examination by consulting Neurologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
