Does anyone else with a left paralyzed diaphragm have digestion issues? I have been getting heartburn, feeling of fullness and mild pain in my lower left abdomen. I also have trouble swallowing sometimes. I have read you can have issues like this, I just did not think I would win the jackpot and get all of them.

@charlier A lot of people in the facebook group for people with paralyzed diaphragms have these symptoms. I think there are over 750 members of the group now, all of whom have paralyzed diaphragms. It is such a rare condition, and it is comforting to connect with people who know precisely what you are going through. People in the group are so generous with answering questions, supporting each other, etc. I never saw the value of facebook before but do now. I've learned so much about my paralyzed diaphragm, symptoms, treatment options, recovery time, specialists, etc. and think you might too. I hope you will consider joining. Take care! Nancy

You might want to see a gastroenterologist. Does not sound exactly like GERD, but perhaps something not unlike it. Feel better.
