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. Still SOB at times if I walk a lot, climb stairs or am rushing. Diaphragm still paralyzed but I can function quite well. Good luck to you.

Welcome, @marinovey. It sounds like you're adapting well. May I ask what led to the right thyroid removal?
