Orthopnea is not hereditary. It is a symptom of a disease.
786.02 is the ICD9 for orthopnea.
The suffix of orthopnea is "-pnea," which means breathing or respiration.
Orthopnea is a symptom, not a procedure. It can have an ICD9 code but not a CPT code.
When one has orthopnea, one has a shortness of breath whenever one lays on a flat surface. Orthopnea causes dyspnea and Paroxysmal Nocturnal Dyspnea.
Orthopnea means difficulty breathing when lying flat or, stated another way, easy breathing only when upright.
The ICD9 for orthopnea is 786.02. The chest x-ray would have a CPT code.
"3" should be written out as a word, as it is less than ten, and I suggest a hyphen, making it "three-pillow orthopnea."
