Paralyzed Diaphragm -- Nausea?

I have the diaphragm problem, but no nausea, just the shortness of breath when doing anything physical, like just walking up the stairs. They say that mine isn't necessarily paralyzed (results from "sniff test" showed that nerve was moving it somewhat).  I don't know the cause of mine, but have been exploring the surgery.  I have seen 2 surgeons so far and will also be seeing another pulmonologist to hopefully get a better idea of what is going on

I also have a paralyzed diaphram and vocal cord due to lymphoma . Bad shortness of breath.i gag a lot and wake up every day with a nausea headache , they told me the headache is caused by the diaphram because while your sleeping your body is unable to get rid of the carbon dioxide .

I have also been diagnosed with a paralyzed diaphragm due.to.a.phrenic nerve. compression. I.also get naseous sometimes and.I think it's due.to the diaphragmatic paralysis. Search "Dr. Matthew Kaufman" on the Internet to see about having a phrenic nerve repair.

I have been diagnosed with bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis, and have been dealing with the symptoms for more than 2 years. I did experience nausea here and there in the beginning, but it has been getting worse as time passes. I am never able to get a full satisfying deep breath, and on bad days I experience nausea all day. My body wants to yawn, but since I can’t even complete a full yawn, for some reason I start to gag. The biggest issue of all is that the cause is still undetermined. I thought it was due to phrenic nerve damage, so I finally went to Dr. Kaufman as well. My EMG results determined that my phrenic nerve is active. This may sound like positive news to most, but it has put a complete stop to any treatment options.

I was hoping someone else out there might have a similar case where the cause of diaphragmatic paralysis is unknown. Most doctors have little to no experience with this, and many have never even heard of it. I am extremely frustrated, and I feel for all of you who are experiencing something similar.

Any ideas? If so, please email me: tiganitakis@gmailcom

Thank you!

My mom has a partially paralyzed diaphragm. She's 81. Doctors say it came from an unsuccessful thyroid operation 30 years ago. She has great difficulty breathing, and we cannot find anyone who treats it. What are our options? We are in South Carolina.
