What Causes Frequent Episodes Of Non Responsive Behaviour In An Alzheimer S Patient?

My husband has vascular dementia and alzheimers. Over the last several years he has had numerous TIAs which constituted of sweating, nausea, vomiting and weakness. Now he is experiencing episodes of non-responsive periods lasting up to 4-6 hours. Upon awakening, he doesn t remember anything that happened. These episodes have increased in frequency as in the last 2 weeks he has had 4 episodes. Would appreciate any information you could give me. Dorothea
