I have a left paralyzed diaphragm. This condition was not identified right away because I had A-fib
And they thought that was making me short of breath. That has been corrected but I still get winded with most exercise. I am trying to find information about phrenic nerve repair vs
Plication surgery. Thank you

Hi Steve @steveflorida, welcome to Connect. I found the following information that may be helpful.
Phrenic Nerve Repair

Plication of the Diaphragm

Are you considering one of these treatments?
