Is Numbness In Arms A Side Effect Of Syndopa?

my father has been diagnosed with mild parkinson s disease. He has been prescribed pacitone(1/2 -1/2) and syndopa (1/2 - 1/2 - 1/2). he is taking them for the last 15 days. But after he started taking these medicines, he feels numbness off and on in his arms and legs. Feels extremely week and suddenly sleeps. He is a heart as well as a lung patient too. Can these too drugs give such a side effect? If yes, should i still continue with the medicines?
