He might have been in delirium due to bzd withdrawal if it is that sudden. If it is dementia then it can be vascular dementia but Alzheimer's will not show such a sudden onset as you described. No , this is not how abdominal epilepsy generally presents. Please consult a neurologist for his Port symptoms.
