Hello doctor, I was recently admitted to the hospital for three days with chest pain along with severe shortness of breath. I had a 2D echo and a CT of my heart done. The results revealed a flattened diaphragm and hyperinflated lungs, but the cardiac tests have not yet arrived. How serious is a flattened diaphragm? I have also been put on new medications namely prednisone 20 mg three tablets for five days and Sucralfate once a day. Kindly suggest what should be done.
Hello. I went through your post. Regards. For more information consult an internal medicine physician online -->
