Symptoms of mild persistent asthma include:

ICD-9 codes 493: Asthma; 493.0: Extrinsic asthma; 493.00: Extrinsic asthma, unspecified; 493.01: Extrinsic asthma with status asthmaticus; 493.02: Extrinsic asthma with (acute) exacerbation; 493.1: Intrinsic asthma; 493.10: Intrinsic asthma, unspecified; 493.11: Intrinsic asthma with status asthmaticus; 493.12: Intrinsic asthma with (acute) exacerbation
ICD-10 Code for Mild intermittent asthma- J45. 2- Codify by AAPC.
ICD-10 Code for Mild intermittent asthma with (acute) exacerbation- J45. 21- Codify by AAPC.
A person may experience asthma exacerbations, during which their asthma worsens or new symptoms occur. These exacerbations, also known as asthma attacks, sometimes happen with no warning. The symptoms of asthma exacerbations include coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.
ICD-10 Code for Unspecified asthma with (acute) exacerbation- J45. 901- Codify by AAPC.
Mild intermittent asthma means you experience symptoms, such as wheezing and coughing, up to 2 days per week. You may also have asthma flareups at night up to twice per month. Any asthma symptoms that occur more frequently than this are considered “persistent.”
ICD-9 Code Transition: 786.5 Code R07. 9 is the diagnosis code used for Chest Pain, Unspecified. Chest pain may be a symptom of a number of serious disorders and is, in general, considered a medical emergency.
Overview. During an asthma attack, also called an asthma exacerbation, the airways become swollen and inflamed. The muscles around the airways contract and the airways produce extra mucus, causing the breathing (bronchial) tubes to narrow. During an attack, you may cough, wheeze and have trouble breathing.
Asthma severity is determined by current impairment (as evidenced by impact on day-to-day activities) and risk of future exacerbations (as evidenced by frequency of oral systemic corticosteroid use), and allows categorization of disease as intermittent, persistent-mild, persistent-moderate, and persistent-severe.
Whereas acute asthma can occur at random, chronic asthma is a long-term problem that any person could experience. A person with chronic asthma may feel regular inflammation in the airways, causing them to become narrow. Asthma attacks or flareups can occur at varying points.
