CASE STUDY (hypothetical story)Mr. Ying is an 84-year-old Asian male who lives in an apartment that adjoins his son’s house. Mr.Ying is accompanied to this clinic visit by his son, who assists with the history. Although previously outgoing and social, Mr. Ying recently has been limiting his outside activities.Mr. Ying stated that for the past year he has felt dizzy when he stands up after sitting or lying down and that he often needs to “catch himself” on furniture or walls shortly after standing. His dizziness is intermittent but happens several times per week. Mr. Ying cannot identify any recent changes in his medications or other changes to his routine that would explain his symptom. He says there is no pattern and he experience dizziness at different times during the day and evening.He denies experiencing syncope, dyspnea, vertigo, or pain accompanying his dizziness. Mr. Ying also remarks that, independent of his dizziness symptoms, he feels unsteady on his feet when walking. His son mentions that he often sees his father “teetering.” Mr. Ying requires help with bathing. He has started using a cane but doesn’t like to use it inside. When asked about previous falls, he says he hasn’t fallen. However, he says his elderly neighbor recently fell and is now in a nursing home. Now he’s fearful about falling and becoming a burden to his family. Although Mr.Ying has spinal stenosis, a recent steroid injection has relieved severe low back pain. Now he suffers only from lower back stiffness for several hours in the morning. He denies any specific weakness in his legs.
