Hello,

I think he may need to do an EEG and possibly even MRI.
I think the symptoms you are explaining may be related to seizures of epilepsy.
Also he may need to get tested for autoimmune disorders since they have the genetic component.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
