It seems to occur more when he drives for a long period. Never happened before treatment. I thought it may be a side effect of treatment but wasn't really sure. Will be asking his doctor about it next week at his 3 monthly checkup just to be sure. But thanks again for mentioning this as it sounds like what he is experiencing.
