Bruising the diaphragm muscle can impair its ability to contract effectively, which is essential for breathing. The diaphragm's movement creates negative pressure in the chest cavity, allowing air to be drawn into the lungs. If it's injured, this function is compromised, leading to difficulty in inhaling and exhaling properly, resulting in shortness of breath. Additionally, pain from the bruise can further inhibit normal breathing patterns.
