My husband seems to be developing a pattern of , what I call, Lapses, in the early evening.
He usually wakes up with the clearest head, [just `normal` confusion] following a good night`s sleep, then, as we progress through the day, seems to become more and more muddled.
In the early evening, he doesn`t know who he is, who I am, where he is or where we live. Last night he asked why there were only 2 of us here and why no-one was downstairs. [We live in a bungalow]. I realized he thought we were in a house he lived in 50 years ago. It was a big, old house, and he let rooms off to all his friends.
In addition, he begins to tremble and complains of dizziness. Then he becomes very tired and either sleeps in the chair for a while or has to go to bed.
I want him to see our doctor or psychiatrist, and so does he. But when he wakes in the morning feeling fine, he changes his mind.
Any advice please?
Thank you, Sylvia
