2021年11月6日 · The left side of my diaphragm paralyzed after a blood clot went thru my lungs and heart ! I almost killed me ! I had surgery that flopped the left side of my diaphragm off my left lung and then stitched it back back and forth ! I didn't begin have breathing problems for quite awhile after the surgery, but now I'm really short of breath !

2018年7月3日 · I'd like to introduce you to @wsh66, who has talked about paralyzed diaphragm, and @jmmb has also talked about diphragmatic issues and may have some thoughts on your condition and on potential surgical repair. @jgreg1954 @allisonsnow @kariulrich @kdubois @hopeful33250 also may have insights for you.

2021年7月21日 · I am a Mayo patient and I like to welcome new members here. This sounds like a difficult situation for you. I don't have experience with a paralyzed diaphragm, but there have been other patients on here sharing information, and there is a surgeon who does a phrenic nerve graft to re-innervate the diaphragm and get it functioning again.

August 2021 I was diagnosed with a elevated right diaphragm, after suffering from extreme shortness of breath for previous months. After much testing, radiological, neuro, and pulmonology my diagnoses was paralysis of right diaphragm. My local neurologist did a nerve conduction study on the right phrenic nerve, the was no response/reaction.

2018年7月3日 · A paralyzed diaphragm is a pretty rare disorder that most doctors, including pulmonologists, don't know much about. It's probably a better option to have a consult with a thoracic surgeon, since they do plication surgery, which might be your only treatment option.

I also thought that @windwalker and @johnbishop may have something to add to this discussion about your inexplicable diaphragm paralysis and possibilities for testing the phrenic nerve. You mentioned the pulmonologists you saw talked about a surgical procedure that can be done but is not guaranteed.

2018年7月3日 · I was diagnosed with right side paralyzed diaphragm almost 1 yr ago- No injury, no surgery- begin with shortness of breath - had chest xray and confirmed right side diaphragm paralysis- Sent to pulmonologist who ran the sniff test, more tests & confirmed the diagnosis ...and told me to call if I got worse...-with no return appointment-

2018年7月3日 · I can say that the conductivity testing for the phrenic nerve that I had done at Mayo was a simple and mostly comfortable procedure. I deal with "recurring right hemi diaphragm paralysis" and they did the test to see if the nerve itself was intact and operating appropriately (It was for me, so the problem for me is the muscle, not the nerve).

Morning. I too have a right diaphragm paralysis. It occurred about a year ago a week after I had surgery to remove my right thyroid. A week later very short of breath. In hospital for a week doing tests, finally a sniff test confirmed. I was sent home on oxygen 24/7.Now not using oxygen at all.
