Does a frappe help with asthma symptoms?
No. If anything, it would make asthma irritating, due to the caffeine in coffee. A healthier diet would be better for asthma. Ask on!
What is the ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for steroid-dependent asthma?
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.
What is the procedure code for acute asthma exacerbation with hypoxia?
It would be a diagnosis code not procedure.
Is a post exercise cough, with no other signs or symptoms, enough to be considered asthma?
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.

Can you have asthma and be a SEAL?
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.
Does change in season affect asthma?
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.
How would you know you have asmtha?
You may suspect you have asthma if you experience symptoms such as persistent coughing, especially at night or during exercise, wheezing or a whistling sound when breathing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. These symptoms can vary in intensity and may worsen during certain conditions, such as exposure to allergens or cold air. A proper diagnosis from a healthcare provider, often involving lung function tests, is essential to confirm asthma and determine an appropriate treatment plan.
What are Asthma patients suffering from?
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.

What medical code is used to report asthma as a condition on a medical claim?
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.
