Dr. Md. Ferdous Mian

Dr. Md. Ferdous Mian is an Associate Professor in the Neurology Department, with a stated specialty in epilepsy. He holds an MBBS degree and an MD in Neurology. His specialist training is relevant to the assessment of seizures and other conditions affecting the nervous system. He sees patients at the National Institute of Neurosciences & Hospital in Dhaka, where people can seek neurological evaluation and advice about ongoing symptoms.

Epilepsy is a neurological condition associated with a tendency to experience repeated seizures. Seizures may cause changes in awareness, unusual movements, staring episodes, or temporary confusion. Their presentation varies from person to person, and not every seizure looks the same. Proper assessment helps doctors understand the episodes, consider possible causes, and determine an appropriate treatment plan.

Patients visiting Dr. Mian can benefit from recording when episodes occur, how long they last, and what happens before and after each event. If possible, family members or witnesses can provide useful descriptions, particularly when the patient has limited memory of an episode. Previous prescriptions, investigation reports, and details of current medicines should also be brought to the consultation. Patients should not stop prescribed seizure medication without medical advice.

People experiencing repeated episodes of altered awareness or unexplained movements can seek specialist advice at the National Institute of Neurosciences & Hospital in Dhaka. Dr. Mian's consultation schedule should be confirmed before visiting. A seizure lasting five minutes or longer, repeated seizures without recovery, or breathing difficulties during an episode requires emergency medical assistance.
