Dr. Md. Ashikul Islam

Dr. Md. Ashikul Islam is a Consultant in Neuromedicine with qualifications including MBBS from Dhaka Medical College (DMC), BCS (Health), FCPS in Medicine and MD in Neurology. His academic background covers the diagnosis and medical management of conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. Neuromedicine differs from neurosurgery in that it primarily focuses on assessment and nonsurgical treatment, although patients may be referred to other specialists when necessary.

People seek neurological care for a wide range of concerns, including recurring headaches, migraine, seizures, dizziness, numbness and unexplained weakness. Neurological conditions can also affect memory, balance, sleep and muscle control. Since similar symptoms may have different causes, a detailed medical history and physical examination are important. Depending on the findings, the doctor may recommend blood tests, brain imaging or other investigations to support the diagnosis.

Dr. Islam's listed chamber is the National Institute of Neurosciences & Hospital in Dhaka. Patients attending a consultation can bring previous prescriptions, laboratory reports, CT or MRI results and discharge summaries. It may help to record how often symptoms occur, how long they last and whether particular activities or situations appear to trigger them. Patients taking regular medication should bring an updated list so the doctor can review their current treatment.

His FCPS in Medicine and MD in Neurology are part of his listed specialist qualifications. People experiencing persistent neurological symptoms can contact the hospital to confirm the appropriate department and consultation arrangements before visiting. Sudden facial drooping, weakness on one side, difficulty speaking or a sudden loss of coordination may indicate a stroke and requires immediate emergency care.
