Diaphragmatic paralysis can be diagnosed by checking a chest x-ray since, if one side of the diaphragm is paralyzed, it will be raised on the x-ray. It can also be diagnosed by ultrasound since it will not move with inspiration. So, see a lung doctor to get evaluated to see if you have diaphragm paralysis. It can be temporary from a viral infection and then it can recover. Good luck!
