Diaphragm Deconditioning After COVID

Hi, no I am not at risk. Someone recently mentioned that their diaphragm was damaged after COVID. And they had to build back up the strength and muscle. I have never heard of this in relation to COVID or any illness before.

Diaphragm deconditioning can happen after any illness that affects the respiratory system over time, or even after surgery when one is inactive for a while. When I have had pneumonia, I have seen very significant drops in the numbers on my incentive spirometer, and had to reset the resistance on my Aerobika to a lower level & work back up.
