Dr. A.F.M. Al Masum Khan

Dr. A.F.M. Al Masum Khan is an Assistant Professor in the Neurology Department, with a stated specialty in headaches. His qualifications include MBBS, BCS (Health), and MD in Neurology. His medical training focuses on conditions affecting the nervous system, including problems that may cause recurring or persistent head pain. He sees patients at the National Institute of Neurosciences & Hospital in Dhaka.

Frequent headaches can interfere with work, study, sleep, and everyday responsibilities. Some people experience throbbing pain, nausea, or sensitivity to light and sound, while others describe pressure around the forehead or back of the head. Migraine, tension-type headaches, sleep disturbances, and other medical conditions can cause similar symptoms. A clinical assessment helps determine which factors may be contributing to the problem.

Patients preparing for a consultation with Dr. Khan can keep a brief record of their headaches, including when they occur, how long they last, and any possible triggers. Details about sleep, stress, food habits, and current medicines may also help explain the pattern. Previous prescriptions and investigation reports are worth bringing, especially if the headaches have continued despite earlier treatment.

His neurology background is relevant to people seeking medical advice for recurring headaches and related symptoms. Patients planning to visit the National Institute of Neurosciences & Hospital in Dhaka should confirm his consultation schedule in advance. A sudden, extremely severe headache, particularly with confusion, weakness, vision changes, or difficulty speaking, needs urgent medical assessment rather than a routine appointment.
