A gastroenterologist: Is the person to see if you dad has not seen one yet. Is his taking magnesium or other supplements? Too much can case some of this. Is your dad understimulated? He may need activities that interest or challenge him such as dvds, books, walks, visits from friends, etc. I'm sure it's hard for you to arrange for such things but try it a little and see what happens. Peace and good health.
