Why heart care matters so much in Khulna, Bangladesh
In Bangladesh, long-term diseases like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, chronic lung disease, and cancer have become a major health challenge. Research and country health summaries consistently show that non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for a large share of deaths in Bangladesh, often cited around ~70% in recent analyses.
Two conditions especially affect heart health in everyday life:
- Diabetes: The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates about 13.2% of adults (20–79) in Bangladesh have diabetes, totaling roughly 13.9 million adults in 2024.
- High blood pressure (hypertension): Population surveys and analyses show hypertension remains common in Bangladeshi adults, with changing trends over time; BDHS-based reporting has estimated adult hypertension prevalence and also highlights that awareness and control remain challenges.
Because diabetes and high blood pressure quietly damage blood vessels over years, many patients only discover the risk after symptoms appear—like chest discomfort, breathlessness, dizziness, or swelling of legs. That’s why people often search for a doctor who can manage both cardiology and medicine/internal medicine concerns in one place.
Is Dr. Debashish Sarkar the right doctor for my problem?
You may consider booking with Dr. Debashish Sarkar if you need:
- A cardiologist in Khulna for heart-related symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, breathlessness, swelling, or fainting spells; and/or
- Support for internal medicine concerns that often overlap with heart health—such as high blood pressure, diabetes, rheumatic conditions, and general medical follow-up.
Conditions patients commonly seek help for (cardiology + medicine)
1) Chest pain or chest pressure
Not every chest pain is a heart attack—but because heart disease is serious, it’s wise to get evaluated, especially if pain:
- spreads to arm/jaw/back
- comes with sweating, nausea, or shortness of breath
- happens during walking, climbing stairs, or stress
Emergency note: If the pain is severe or sudden, do not wait—go to the nearest emergency service immediately.
2) Shortness of breath (হাঁপ ধরা)
Breathlessness can come from heart conditions, lung problems, anemia, or other causes. A doctor who understands the overlap of cardiology and medicine/chest symptoms can guide the next steps.
3) High blood pressure follow-up
High BP can stay “silent” for years but increases risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, and vision problems. Hypertension remains common among Bangladeshi adults and long-term control can be challenging—making regular follow-up important.
4) Palpitations (হঠাৎ বুক ধড়ফড়)
People describe this as “heart racing,” “skipping beats,” or “fluttering.” Sometimes it’s harmless (stress, caffeine), but sometimes it needs investigation.
5) Diabetes + heart risk assessment
Diabetes increases the risk of heart disease over time. IDF estimates show diabetes affects a large portion of Bangladeshi adults.
So many patients look for a doctor who can manage diabetes-related risk alongside heart concerns.
6) Rheumatic history and long-term heart concerns
Some adults have a childhood history of rheumatic fever or sore-throat-related complications and later develop valve problems. A cardiology review can help decide what monitoring is needed.
7) General medicine concerns that overlap with heart care
Patients often want one clear plan for problems like fatigue, dizziness, swelling of legs, sleep issues, or medication review—especially when they have multiple conditions at the same time.

Experience & clinical approach
Many patients are not just looking for a prescription—they want:
- a doctor who listens carefully,
- explains the problem in simple Bangla/English,
- and gives a plan the family can actually follow.
A patient-first cardiology/medicine visit typically includes:
- listening to your symptoms in detail (when it started, triggers, duration)
- reviewing past reports (ECG, echo, blood tests, sugar/BP logs—if available)
- checking vital signs and doing a focused exam
- advising lifestyle steps that fit Bangladeshi routines (food, salt intake, activity, sleep)
- creating a follow-up plan that is realistic for work/family schedules
If you’ve visited multiple places and feel confused, bringing all previous prescriptions and reports in one file can help a lot.
What to bring to your first appointment (saves time, improves accuracy)
To get the best value from your consultation fee, try to bring:
- Previous medical papers (old prescriptions, discharge summaries, test reports)
- List of current medicines (or photos of strips)
- BP readings from home/pharmacy (if you check BP)
- Blood sugar records (if you have diabetes)
- Any known allergies, pregnancy status (if relevant), and family history (heart disease, stroke, diabetes)
If you live outside Khulna city, keeping a simple notebook of symptoms (date/time, what you felt, what you were doing) is surprisingly helpful.
Patient education: small daily habits that protect the heart
This helps families, especially in rural and semi-urban areas, understand what matters most.
1) BP control is not only “for old people”
Even younger adults can develop high BP due to stress, salt-heavy diets, lack of movement, and weight gain. Hypertension statistics and studies in Bangladesh also highlight gaps in awareness and control, which is why regular follow-up matters.
2) Diabetes control protects the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves
Bangladesh has a large and growing number of adults living with diabetes (IDF estimates). Keeping sugar controlled isn’t only about avoiding “weakness”—it’s also long-term protection for blood vessels.
3) Chest symptoms should not be ignored
People often say: “Gas problem hobe (গ্যাস হবে).” Sometimes it is—but if symptoms repeat, appear with walking, or come with breathlessness/sweating, it deserves medical attention.
4) Sleep and stress are real heart factors
Poor sleep and chronic stress can worsen BP, sugar, and rhythm problems. Even simple steps—regular sleep time, less late-night screen use, short daily walks—can help.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dr. Debashish Sarkar a cardiologist or a medicine specialist?
Dr. Debashish Sarkar is listed as both a Cardiology and Medicine/Internal Medicine focused doctor in Khulna. That combination is helpful when heart concerns overlap with problems like blood pressure, diabetes risk, chest/respiratory symptoms, or multi-condition follow-ups.
What symptoms mean I should see a cardiologist (not just a general doctor)?
Consider a cardiology visit if you have repeated chest tightness/pain, breathlessness, palpitations, unexplained fainting, leg swelling, or uncontrolled blood pressure—especially if symptoms come during walking or climbing stairs. If symptoms are sudden/severe, go to an emergency facility first.
Can I consult for diabetes-related heart risk even if I don’t have chest pain?
Yes. Many people book cardiology consults for risk assessment—especially if they have diabetes, high BP, smoking history, obesity, or strong family history. Bangladesh has a high diabetes burden, so prevention-focused heart checkups are a smart reason to consult.
What should I bring to the first appointment to avoid wasting time and money?
Bring (1) previous prescriptions, (2) test reports (ECG/echo/blood tests if you have them), (3) a list/photo of current medicines, and (4) recent BP/sugar readings. Also note when symptoms happen, what triggers them, and how long they last—this often matters more than a single report.
How do I know whether I should book as a ‘new’ or ‘follow-up’ patient?
Book as new if you haven’t seen the doctor before or if your problem is different from your last visit. Book as follow-up if you’re returning with the same condition plan (BP/heart/diabetes follow-up, medication adjustment, or report review). If you’re unsure, the chamber team can guide you when you call.
Can a family member book the appointment for me?
Usually, yes—family members often book serials on behalf of elderly parents or busy patients. If you use BHA’s directory features, BHA also mentions options like booking for someone else via their platform workflow.
Is booking through Bangladesh Health Alliance (BHA) free?
BHA states that searching and booking through their doctor directory is free, and patients pay consultation fees directly to the clinic/doctor.
How early should I arrive at the chamber?
If you’re coming from outside Khulna city or during busy days, try to arrive a bit earlier than your expected serial time. Keep your reports organized in order (latest on top). This helps the consultation stay focused and reduces missed serial risk.
What are danger signs when I should go to emergency instead of waiting for chamber time?
Go to emergency immediately for severe chest pain lasting >10–15 minutes, chest pain with sweating/nausea, sudden severe breathlessness at rest, fainting with injury, or stroke-like symptoms (face droop, slurred speech, one-sided weakness). These need urgent evaluation.
Why do heart and medicine care often go together in Bangladesh?
Because many heart problems are closely tied to NCDs like diabetes and hypertension. WHO notes NCDs account for about 67% of deaths in Bangladesh, and managing risks early can prevent long-term complications.
Safety note: when to seek emergency care immediately
Please do not wait for chamber hours if you have:
- severe chest pain lasting more than 10–15 minutes
- chest pain with sweating, nausea, severe breathlessness
- sudden weakness on one side, slurred speech, facial droop
- fainting with injury or repeated fainting
- severe breathing difficulty at rest
These can be emergency warning signs and require urgent medical evaluation.
