When the diaphragm is elevated, it can lead to decreased lung volume and decreased ability to take deep breaths. This can result in difficulty breathing and reduced oxygen levels in the blood. In severe cases, an elevated diaphragm can also compress nearby structures like the heart and the inferior vena cava.
Yes, an elevated diaphragm can cause coughing. This can happen when the diaphragm is irritated or weakened, leading to spasms or difficulty in breathing. In some cases, this can result in a persistent cough as the body tries to clear the airways.
Smoking can weaken the muscles of the diaphragm, making it harder for the diaphragm to contract and expand properly. This can lead to decreased lung function and difficulty breathing over time.
The diaphragm contracts and so your abdomen comes out during inspiration.
If someone is born without a diaphragm, it is typically a life-threatening condition that can lead to respiratory distress and the inability to breathe properly. Emergency medical intervention is required, which may involve surgery to reconstruct the diaphragm or implement alternative breathing support techniques.
When the diaphragm stops working properly, it can lead to difficulty breathing and decreased oxygen levels in the body. This can result in symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and respiratory failure in severe cases. Treatment may involve mechanical ventilation to assist with breathing.
The diaphragm can be elevated due to conditions like diaphragmatic paralysis, abdominal distension, or elevated intra-abdominal pressure from issues like ascites or pregnancy. This elevation can impact proper lung expansion and breathing.

It contracts (and moves downward).
When breathing in, or inhaling, the diaphragm contracts, or tightens. When exhaling, or breathing out, the diaphragm expands, or loosens.
