What to do if the right lung diaphragm not working?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
First, your doctor: could determine the chronicity or how long this has been present. Second, do you have symptoms from this such as shortness of breath or fatigue. Basic pulmonary function testing and chest xrays using fluoroscopic studies are needed. The fluoroscopic sniff test, also known as diaphragm fluoroscopy, is a quick and easy real time fluoroscopic assessment of diaphragmatic motor function.
