Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

For primary work up check his hb level by CBC test and thyroid problem by serum TSH estimation. If hb low than treatment can be done for that by iron medication. If both report normal than serum electrolytes, liver profile, kidney profile reports can be done. If these reports also normal than EMG investigation can be done. Consult physician for examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
