Each person is different. An EMG is not that bad, sometimes a little uncomfortable, but doable. Yes, he can eat his breakfast and have his coffee. This is a test for the nerve reactions, no blood work, nothing like that. Here is a website, which explains it pretty well:

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
