No. If anything, it would make asthma irritating, due to the caffeine in coffee. A healthier diet would be better for asthma. Ask on!
There are different codes for the different types of asthma, but the question does not specify which type. Therefore, the ICD-9-CM diagnosis code would be: Asthma, unspecified: 493.90 There is no combination code for steroid dependent asthma, so this would require two diagnosis codes to describe: 493.90 + V58.65, Long term (current) use of steroids.
It would be a diagnosis code not procedure.
If the individual has never been diagnosed with asthma then the coughing experienced after working out would not be a sufficient amount of information for a doctor to make a diagnosis of asthma. The physician would suggest the patient keep records of any other time it is hard to breath or hard to catch their breath. Doctor would also provide the patient with information about asthma and other early warning signs.

I would have thought that asthma would mean you would not be medically fit to be in the army at all. Asthma will also very likely prevent you from taking up sport diving too.
Yes, without question the symptoms of asthma change with the seasons. The reason: because asthma is, in part, an inflammatory condition, there are a huge number of environmental factors (e.g., being around cigarette smoke) that can exacerbate asthma. Since environmental factors change as the seasons change, it makes sense that asthma symptoms would too. Things that typically cause seasonal allergies (e.g., pollen) can exacerbate asthma. The relative humidity can also contribute to asthma symptoms, and since, depending on where you live, the humidity changes with the season, asthma can thus change with the seasons.
Differential Diagnosis
The most likely diagnosis would be Parkinson's Disease. Symptoms may include uncontrollable tremors and freezing up from time to time.
Asthma patients suffer from lack of air into the lungs. Persons suffering with asthma often have shortness of breath, will wheeze and have tightness in their chest. They would often carry a puffer to relieve symptoms and help them breathe better.
Seizures can be one symptom, but there are many others and seizures can occur for many reasons. So it would be wise to look for more symptoms before a diagnosis could be made.Seizures can be one symptom, but there are many others and seizures can occur for many reasons.

Under normal circumstances, you would need more specific information on the patient's asthma type in order to report a valid and complete ICD-9-CM diagnosis code. The specifics of the condition should be provided by the healthcare provider; if not, you would query (question or inquire) with him or her. Otherwise, unspecified asthma would be 493.9 however, a 5th digit is ALWAYS required to complete the diagnosis indicating other conditional factors.
