What are the symptoms of Parkinson's disease?

My grandpa has been experiencing dizziness and is a bit disoriented. We suspect that he maybe has Parkinson's disease. What are some other symptoms of this disease?

To diagnose Parkinson's, you look for resting tremors, pill rolling, slowness of movement, rigidity, other masked face, drooling, decreased arm swing, shuffling gait, REM behavior disorder, among other symptoms and signs (dizziness and disorientation are vague, non-specific, and could indicate a variety of other disorders).
