J45.8: Mixed asthma
Mixed asthma, categorized under ICD-10 code J45.8, is a form of asthma that is identified by the presence of various types of triggers. These triggers can be either allergenic (external factors like dust, pollen or pet hair) or non-allergenic (internal factors such as stress, exercise or cold air). Individuals suffering from mixed asthma may experience symptoms that include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. The condition can present itself at any age, not just in one's formative years, and can be influenced by a multitude of factors including, but not limited to, genetics, environmental considerations, or a history of respiratory infections. The progression and severity of mixed asthma can differ greatly from person to person, with some individuals experiencing minimal disruption to their daily lives, while others may witness severe attacks that necessitate immediate medical attention.
