Is the uneasiness in the stomach and appetite for food is associated with Parkinson's disease?

My husband was diagnosed with early Parkinson's, he has trouble sleeping and says it is because of a weird feeling in his stomach.  He forgot to tell the doctor about the funny feeling but was told to take to sleeping pills.  It is not working.  Are funny feelings in you stomach that wake you up and make you want to go eat associated with PD or is this a symptom of something else like diabetes or something?

HiThanks for using healthcare magicThere are multiple causes of ployphagia likediabetes, Kleine-Levin Syndrome (a malfunction in the hypothalamus), the genetic disorders Prader-Willi Syndrome and Bardet Biedl Syndrome can cause hyperphagia (compulsive hunger). It s not associated with Parkinson. May be due to underline diabetes, he is feeling hungry at night. Better to get him investigated properly to find out the cause. Thanks
