Has anyone had their diaphragm checked I have had trouble getting deep breaths sighing and yawning I was sent for tests which showed slightly raised left diaphragm weakness it slowly getting better but it's been 18 months
This sounds exactly like me! I have had problems taking deep breaths and catching my breath for the last 18 months. On a chest x-ray it showed blunting in an upward Costco phrenic angle. There is also an upward bulge in the left side of my diaphragm comma I also have had atelectasis in my left lower lobe of my lung and some small infiltrates possibly due to the atelectasis in the upper lobe of my left lung. I have just recently had a slew of tests ran and one of them was to check on the strength of my diaphragm. It was a very simple test and I fell within normal limits. I am also slowly very very slowly getting better, but it seems to be taking forever! And the causes are unknown.
