“What would cause a change in focus and balance through the day? ”
My husband is in average/good health and is retired as well as I. He does take meds to control his cholesterol and blood pressure. I have asked him to contact his primary care mgr, but whenever I try to talk to him about this, he denies anything is wrong. I am very concerned about his health. This is not normal. I have looked up his meds for side effects, issues with blood pressure and blood sugars. All without answers. What could cause this change in his behavior daily?

These are difficult times. Specially for you as your husband's functioning is deteriorating during the day time. From what you are saying he appears to be in denial. What is his primary care physician's opinion about this situation? They would be more familiar with his history. Since I have not evaluated him, it would be inappropriate for me to give an opinion about what is causing his condition. My suggestion is for you to make an appointment for him with either a licensed neurologist, neuropsychologist or a neuropsychiatrist. You may want to ask his primary care physician for a referral. Of course, with CORONA 19, you will need to find someone who is providing virtual appointments unless they have ability and facility to see some one in person.
Take care and be safe.
