Hi,
I would explain that these symptoms could be related to Duloxetine adverse effects.
Anyway, I would first recommend performing some blood lab tests to exclude any possible metabolic disorders (anemia or iron deficiency, thyroid gland dysfunction, etc.).
You should discuss with his doctor on these tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
