Patient presents with complaints consistent with positional vertigo, characterized by episodic dizziness, spinning sensation (vertigo), and lightheadedness. Symptoms are provoked by specific head movements or changes in position, such as rolling over in bed, bending over, or looking up. Onset of vertigo is sudden and brief, typically lasting less than one minute. Patient denies associated symptoms such as tinnitus, hearing loss, or neurological deficits. The Dix-Hallpike maneuver was performed, eliciting a characteristic nystagmus consistent with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Diagnosis of BPPV is supported by clinical presentation and positive Dix-Hallpike test. Differential diagnosis includes Meniere's disease, vestibular neuritis, and other central causes of vertigo. Treatment plan includes Epley maneuver for canalith repositioning. Patient education provided regarding BPPV, including triggers, prognosis, and self-management strategies. Follow-up appointment scheduled to assess symptom resolution and efficacy of treatment. ICD-10 code H81.1 (Benign paroxysmal vertigo) assigned. Medical billing codes for the evaluation and management visit, as well as the Epley maneuver, will be documented and submitted accordingly. Patient advised to return to the clinic if symptoms worsen or do not improve with treatment.
