Suggest Treatment For Wheezing And Breathing Problems After Treating Pneumonia
I had pneumonia back in October and the doctor said I had some scarring on my lungs as a result. Have been having wheezing and breathing problems since. After many x-ray and CT scan and another scan at an Imaging Center, it was determined that my diaphragm is not moving, whether shallow or deep breaths. A Chiropractor in town says he can help. Is there any remedy?
This mostly is a sign of damage of the nerves of the diaphragm. Better to do a consultation with a neurologist specialist first. If not then continue with the chiropractor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jolanda Nikolla, Pulmonologist
