Have the Dr. do a blood test to check his potassium levels and also thyroid check.
My husband went through some of the same symptoms sometimes getting so bad he would be completely paralyzed.He was in his early 20's when he had problems.
It took us over 6 years to get a diagnosis. We finally saw an edocrinologist who diagnosed him with Graves Disease (a severe form of hyper thyroid) and also Hypokalemia (chronic low potassium)
Good Luck!

It may be multiple sclerosis or myasthenia gravis. Consult your neurologist.
