Q: Alzheimers And Pain In Head?

My dad, 84, is in mid stages of alzheimers. Last night he could not sleep, and when my mom asked him what was wrong he said his head didn't feel right. He has trouble with his words, so not sure if it was pain, pressure etc, but is this common? He said it wasn't a headache, it was a different kind of discomfort.
Just wondering if anyone else has had similar experience, or input.
Thanks, andrea
