Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
Your father symptoms could be related to peripheral neuropathy. For this reason, I recommend consulting with his doctor and performing a nerve conduction study (electroneurography) and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, blood electrolytes, kidney and liver function tests, iron levels, etc. ).
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
