Parkinson's is a disease common in age like your friend's. Its quite interesting to hear about the symptoms from you. Thank you for writing us here.
Parkinson's disease is treated with drugs like Levodopa or Carbidopa.
Seizures are because of the the disease itself but its rare. I would suggest a CT scan done for the conformation.
Also I expect that your friend isn't taking any other medication like phenothiazines or antihypertensive drugs because it interfere with the actions of the drugs used for Parkinson's.
Best regards
