A member asked:

Is not breathing through my diaphragm causing my lungs to change? i have been breathing through my chest for years with anxiety and i can't stop.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Though you may not be breathing deeply, inspiration requires coordinated muscle contractions including your diaphragm and intercostal muscles. This creates the negative pressure needed to inspire.
