Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
You should first consult a good MD or infectious disease specialist. This would ensure that he gets adequate treatment for his Lyme disease.
Subsequently, he can be shown to a neurologist. His current symptoms would get better with medications such as clonazepam. Clonazepam would improve his sleep as well as reduce his anxiety.
Best wishes,
