Possibly: He needs to see a doctor. His dose could be too high or there could be liver problems or other issues. He needs to get checked out.

It Possibly is: This could be from the chronic use of Morphine.But you did not mention why he is taking Morphine for many months.What is the underlying condition for prescription of Morphine and what dose he is on.Balance getting worse is serious and he can end up with a fall and risk of a fracture.You should take him to the doctor who prescribed Morphine and discuss your concern so that treatment change is done
