Dr. Md. Rakan Uz Zaman

Dr. Md. Rakan Uz Zaman is a Consultant in the Neurology Department with qualifications including MBBS, BCS (Health), FCPS in Medicine and MD in Neurology. His listed area of focus is headache care. Neurological assessment can help identify different types of headaches, understand possible triggers and determine whether symptoms are related to migraine, tension-type headaches or another underlying condition.

Headaches vary in intensity, duration and frequency. Some people experience throbbing pain with nausea or sensitivity to light and sound, while others report pressure around the forehead or back of the head. Frequent headaches can interfere with work, sleep and daily responsibilities. Keeping a record of when the pain occurs, how long it lasts and any associated symptoms may help the doctor understand the pattern and plan further evaluation.

Dr. Zaman's listed chamber is the National Institute of Neurosciences & Hospital in Dhaka. Patients attending a consultation can bring previous prescriptions, investigation reports and details of medicines they have tried. It is useful to mention how often headaches occur, whether the pain has changed recently and if there are associated symptoms such as vomiting, visual disturbances or dizziness. These details can help guide the clinical assessment and decisions about treatment.

His FCPS in Medicine and MD in Neurology form part of his listed specialist qualifications. People experiencing recurring or persistent headaches can contact the hospital to confirm the appropriate department and appointment arrangements. A sudden, extremely severe headache, particularly with weakness, confusion, fever or difficulty speaking, requires urgent medical assessment. Such symptoms should not be managed by waiting for a routine consultation.
