Hello. Welcome to hcm.
Your friend might be having a vitamin B deficiency or a drug reaction.
Kindly ask for drug and allergy history.
Also it will be safe to start on vitamin B syrup or capsules till he figures out his problem.
It is advisable to undergo vitamin B12 levels and general blood examination to look for associated problems.
Post a picture if possible to better assess the problem
All the best
