What is the ICD 10 code for dyspnea on exertion?
The new codes are for describing the infusion of tixagevimab and cilgavimab monoclonal antibody (code XW023X7), and the infusion of other new technology monoclonal antibody (code XW023Y7).

R06. 9 - Unspecified abnormalities of breathing. ICD-10-CM.
Two uncommon types of breathlessness are trepopnea and platypnea. Trepopnea is dyspnea that occurs in one lateral decubitus position as opposed to the other. Platypnea refers to breathlessness that occurs in the upright position and is relieved with recumbency.
Dyspnoea can also be quantified (“intensity”). Exertional dyspnoea can be easily defined as “the perception of respiratory discomfort that occurs for an activity level that does not normally lead to breathing discomfort”.
ICD-10 code R06. 02 for Shortness of breath is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .

Dyspnoea (also is known as dyspnea, shortness of breath or breathlessness). "Is a subjective sensation which probably develops as a result of the integration of signals from the central nervous system and some peripheral receptors."
Dyspnea is when a person experiences shortness of breath regardless of what position they are in. Orthopnea is when a person experiences shortness of breath when lying down.
Slowed breathing is called bradypnea. Labored or difficult breathing is known as dyspnea.
Dyspnea that is greater than expected with the degree of exertion is a symptom of disease. Most cases of dyspnea result from asthma, heart failure and myocardial ischemia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, pneumonia, or psychogenic disorders.
Exertional dyspnoea is among the dominant symptoms in patients with chronic heart failure and progresses relentlessly as the disease advances, leading to reduced ability to function and engage in activities of daily living.
Exercise-induced asthma, or sports-induced asthma, happens when airways constrict during physical activity. This causes coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. These symptoms appear during or after exercise and may come back after rest.
