Detailed Answer:
Hi Rngreiber,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar, a neurologist, here to answer your query.

If your husband would have presented to me as an outpatient, I would have asked the following questions, in order to answer your query better:
1)Is he frequently anxious?
2)Does he have excessive thoughts (or always thinking and stressed about something)?
3)How many times in a day he has tingling on face and coldness of fingers, and what is the duration of each episode?
4)For how many days or months, is he having these complaints?
5)During his disorientation or dizziness episode, does he recognises the family members or known individuals around?
6)Is there any significant past medical history like Diabetes, hypertension, heart disease or stroke?or any other medical history?
7)Any history of addictions-alcohol or drugs?

Most likely cause of the symptoms he is having is 'anxiety'. He is likely to benefit from mental relaxation exercises and Yoga. However, please follow up with the details as I asked, so that I can answer the query better.
