ICD-10 Code: J45* – Asthma.
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.
Severe, persistent asthma involves symptoms that persist throughout the day and night. Asthma may get in the way of daily activities and make it difficult to sleep — nighttime symptoms often arise in people with severe asthma.
Asthma is classified as moderate persistent if symptoms occur daily. Flare-ups occur and usually last several days. Coughing and wheezing may disrupt the child's normal activities and make it difficult to sleep. Nighttime flare-ups may occur more than once a week.
