Internal Medicine Care
What a Medicine Specialist Treats
Internal Medicine (commonly called “Medicine” in Bangladesh) focuses on adult health problems—both short-term illnesses and long-term conditions. A Medicine specialist is often the first choice when symptoms are general or unclear and may involve different body systems.
Below are common health concerns where patients frequently consult Professor Dr. Md. Mahfuzer Rahman.
1) Fever, Infection, and Persistent Illness
Fever is one of the most common reasons patients seek care. While many fevers are simple viral infections, some fevers require proper evaluation, especially when:
- fever lasts more than 3–5 days
- fever returns repeatedly
- fever comes with weakness, rash, breathing trouble, or severe body pain
A medicine specialist can assess history, examine properly, and guide necessary tests (based on symptoms) to find the cause and treat safely.
2) Diabetes Management (Type 2 Diabetes)
Diabetes is very common in Bangladesh. Many patients struggle with:
- uncontrolled blood sugar
- dizziness/weakness
- frequent urination or thirst
- neuropathy-like symptoms (burning feet, tingling)
- recurrent infections
- lifestyle confusion—what to eat and what to avoid
A medicine specialist can create a step-by-step diabetes plan that includes:
- medication adjustment
- diet guidance (Bangladesh-friendly food planning)
- monitoring strategy (how often to check sugar)
- long-term complication screening and referral when needed
3) High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) and Heart Risk Screening
High blood pressure often stays silent until it causes serious damage. Many people only discover it after headaches, dizziness, chest discomfort, or routine measurement.
A medicine specialist can help with:
- correct diagnosis (not just one reading)
- choosing suitable long-term BP medicine
- advice on salt intake, sleep, stress, physical activity
- assessing risk factors like diabetes, cholesterol, smoking, obesity
4) Respiratory Symptoms: Cough, Breathlessness, Asthma-Like Problems
If you have:
- cough for weeks
- breathing trouble during exertion
- wheezing
- chest tightness
…you may need careful evaluation to separate common causes like allergies, asthma, chronic bronchitis, infection, or other issues. Internal medicine care often includes history-based evaluation, report review, and safe stepwise treatment.
5) Gastric, Acidity, Indigestion, and Abdominal Discomfort
Many people in Bangladesh suffer from:
- acidity / burning sensation
- bloating
- nausea
- indigestion
- recurrent stomach discomfort
Often, the condition improves temporarily but returns due to diet habits, stress, irregular meals, or incorrect medicine use. A proper medicine consultation typically focuses on triggers, safe medication use, and when to investigate further.
6) Thyroid and Hormonal Symptoms (Adult Medicine Evaluation)
Common thyroid-related symptoms include:
- unexplained weight change
- fatigue
- palpitations
- hair fall
- sleep problems
A medicine specialist can guide appropriate thyroid tests, interpret results, and advise treatment and follow-up intervals.
7) General Weakness, Anemia-Like Symptoms, Dizziness
Weakness is not a diagnosis—it’s a symptom. It can be related to anemia, thyroid issues, uncontrolled diabetes, infection, nutritional problems, sleep issues, stress, or other conditions. A senior medicine physician often helps patients find the real cause rather than only prescribing vitamins without evaluation.
8) Multi-Problem Patients (Complex Adult Medicine Cases)
Many adults have more than one issue at the same time—such as diabetes + BP + gastric + sleep problem. Internal medicine is especially suited to handle these combined conditions with a balanced plan and safe medication selection.

Common Question
FAQs for Patients
Below are quick, patient-friendly answers to common questions people ask before visiting a Medicine (Internal Medicine) specialist.
Should I see a Medicine specialist or a Gastro/Heart/Neuro doctor first?
If your symptoms are unclear, multiple, or affect your whole body—such as fever, weakness, weight change, dizziness, or breathlessness—a Medicine (Internal Medicine) specialist is usually the best first step. They can evaluate your condition broadly and refer you to a super-specialist only if needed.
What’s the difference between an MD (Medicine) doctor and a general physician?
An MD (Medicine) doctor is trained to diagnose and manage complex adult medical conditions, chronic diseases, and multi-system problems with deeper specialization beyond general practice—especially when symptoms don’t fit one clear category.
I have diabetes + high BP + gastric problems—can one doctor manage everything together?
Yes. This is a common reason patients choose Internal Medicine. A Medicine specialist can create one coordinated plan to reduce medicine conflicts, avoid unnecessary duplication, and set a clear follow-up routine.
What symptoms mean I should go to the emergency room instead of waiting for chamber time?
Go to emergency care first if you have any of the following:
- Severe chest pain, sudden breathlessness, or fainting
- Signs of stroke (face droop, slurred speech, weakness on one side)
- Very high fever with confusion, stiff neck, or severe dehydration
- Very high blood pressure with severe headache or vision problems
Chamber consultations are best for non-emergency evaluation and ongoing care.
Do I need a referral to book an appointment with Prof. Dr. Mahfuzer Rahman?
Usually, no referral is needed for a Medicine specialist appointment in Bangladesh. If you have previous reports or prescriptions, bring them—these help the doctor understand your medical history quickly.
How can I make the consultation more effective in just one visit?
Bring a short written note with:
- Your main symptoms (start date + what makes them better/worse)
- Current medicines (name + dose, if possible)
- Any important test reports
This helps the doctor reach a clearer decision faster and reduces repeat visits due to missing information.
Should I stop my regular medicines before seeing a Medicine specialist?
In most cases, don’t stop long-term medicines on your own (for BP, diabetes, thyroid, etc.), because it can make your readings misleading—or even risky. If fasting tests are needed, the doctor or clinic will guide you on what to take and what to pause.
If my reports look “normal” but I still feel weak, what happens next?
“Normal” reports don’t always explain symptoms. A Medicine specialist may:
- Re-check your history (sleep, diet, stress, hydration, hidden infection)
- Review the timing and quality of previous tests
- Suggest targeted tests based on your symptom pattern
The goal is to find the cause—rather than only prescribing vitamins without a clear reason.
How often should I follow up for chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure?
Follow-up depends on your control level:
- If uncontrolled or medicines were recently changed → follow up sooner
- If stable → periodic monitoring as advised
A Medicine specialist typically sets a clear follow-up interval and tells you what readings to track at home.
What’s the best way to get a serial/appointment in a busy evening chamber?
Call ahead, ask for serial confirmation, and arrive a little earlier than your time window. Evening chambers often have higher patient volume—planning helps reduce waiting and ensures smoother service.
