I think you ought to ask your doctor what does your diaphragm do. Does it rises abnormally? Does he know the cause of this? There are several causes, so I wouldn't know how to answer you. That problem may lie below, within or above the diaphragm: Ask those questions to your doc and have it explained to you.Best of luck and come back here to tell us your progress please..
