Medical issue with PM?

I’m wondering was there a medical issue affecting PM? As happened in Staines crash. He was clearly not focussed on his monitoring duties, his hand went into a non-sensical automatic mode on a pair levers to his left in response to a call for flap. He didn’t respond to PF’s mention of lack of thrust. Either he “froze” psychologically due to exhaustion or he was in the process losing consciousness, and PF too busy on her manoeuvre that she didn’t realise there was a very serious event happening PM beside her.
