Hi,
You are right: the most probable diagnosis for this patient is Dementia or Stroke.
You need to add information from X-ray/ct-scan of head or blood work reports. A complete cardiac check up is required (ECG, echocardiogram) and neurological examination is a must too.
After evaluating the results, we can confirm the final diagnosis.
Keep monitoring blood sugar and blood pressure, and record the results for future reference.
Hope this helps.
