A member asked:

Do you have any suggestions for a paralyzed diaphragm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a doctor.: If you have a paralyzed diaphram, and it has been like that for months (it will often get better over time), and it is causing you problems like shortness of breath or decreased activity tolerance, you can be evaluated by a physician. There are surgical treatments (for example, diaphragm plication) that can help.
