A member asked:
What type of dr. works on the diaphragm? poor posture and constant anxiety seem to have restricted my breathing and i suspect i have diaphragm damage.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Start with your: Family doc. He/she will examine you and determine if anything further is needed. A feeling of restricted breathing can be part of an anxiety disorder. A clinical psychologist can be of help and give you tools to manage it well. Peace and good health.
