Brief Answer:
Few possibilities

Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted your concern.
Sorry to hear about your husband's symptoms.
IS he on any medicines for diabetes? What is his age?

The symptoms could be due to low blood sugars or due to an infection.
It would be good to do a blood sugar profile and CBC ( complete blood count) and a urine routine test. CBC and urine test are done to rule out any infection.

He will also require a detailed examination.
