Hi,
Chronic fatigue and diarrhea can have many causes, including viral or bacterial infections, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, food sensitivities, and certain medications. It's also possible that your symptoms are related to an underlying medical condition such as chronic fatigue syndrome or irritable bowel syndrome.
The sensation of a pit in your stomach and difficulty fully expanding your diaphragm may be related to an abdominal or diaphragm muscle strain, or it could be associated with an underlying gastrointestinal or respiratory condition. I think it would be a good idea to consult a doctor for an examination and any necessary diagnostic tests to determine the cause of your symptoms and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
