Hello,
Thanks for writing in to hcm.
Your brother needs immediate medical attention to rule out any cns problems like stroke and other organic diseases that can lead to weakness of legs and slurred speech.
Kindly consult a neurologist at the earliest as they may advise MRI Brain, blood tests and an EEG to investigate the cause of the problem.
Hope your query was answered.

Dr.Riyanka
