Family Medicine & Chronic Disease Care
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Why it matters in neurology: uncontrolled blood pressure increases stroke risk and can worsen headache and dizziness
- Patient intent: safe medication adjustment, monitoring plan, and risk reduction
- Why it matters in neurology: diabetes can contribute to neuropathy, dizziness, and delayed recovery after illness
- Patient intent: stable control, medicine review, and long-term complication prevention
- Why it matters in neurology: thyroid imbalance may affect fatigue, tremor, mood, and concentration
- Patient intent: appropriate testing guidance and coordinated treatment planning
- Patient intent: early risk detection (blood pressure, blood sugar, lifestyle risks) and prevention-focused counseling
Lifestyle and risk-factor modification
- Patient intent: practical changes for sleep, diet, activity, stress reduction, and consistent medicine use
Long-term disease monitoring and medication optimization
- Patient intent: follow-up scheduling, report review, side-effect monitoring, and safe dose/timing optimization
Clinical Approach & Care Philosophy
Dr. Masud Anwar emphasizes:
- Comprehensive clinical history and focused neurological examination
- Judicious, evidence-based use of investigations
- Individualized medication selection and dose optimization
- Risk-factor control (blood pressure, blood sugar, lipids) where relevant
- Patient education, lifestyle guidance, and realistic expectations
- Structured follow-up for chronic neurological and medical conditions
His integrated neurology–family medicine model is particularly helpful when symptoms overlap with chronic illness—for example, dizziness with hypertension, neuropathy with diabetes, or headaches influenced by sleep disturbance and stress.

- Prepare a 1–2 line summary of the main problem (for example: headache, dizziness/vertigo, seizures, weakness or numbness, memory concerns, or chronic disease follow-up).
- Mention any major conditions such as Hypertension or Diabetes, and list current medicines if possible.
What to bring for an in-person visit:
- Previous prescriptions and a list of current medicines (including dose and timing)
- Recent test reports (blood tests, imaging, ECG, discharge papers), especially after Stroke, seizures, or hospitalization
- Any blood pressure or blood sugar readings you have been tracking
If you are booking for a neurological emergency:
If there is sudden facial droop, severe weakness, trouble speaking, new seizures, severe sudden headache, or loss of consciousness, do not wait for a chamber serial—seek emergency care immediately.
Online consultation (when it may be suitable):
Online consultation may be available for follow-ups and selected cases. For the best outcome, prepare a short timeline of symptoms, photos/scans of reports, and the current medicine list so the consultation stays focused and clinically useful.
