W83: Other specified threats to breathing

The group of conditions referred to as "Other specified threats to breathing" involves various situations that can hinder or impair an individual's ability to breathe normally. These conditions could be caused by different scenarios like inhaling harmful substances, severe allergies, exposure to extreme weather conditions, strenuous physical exertion, or being in high altitudes, among others. These conditions generally present with symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, or difficulty in taking deep breaths. How these conditions progress depends largely on the cause and severity of the breathing threat. Most of these conditions affect the respiratory system, which includes the nose, throat, windpipe, and lungs. It's paramount to note that these conditions can range from mild to severe and could potentially become life-threatening if not addressed promptly.
