Elevated diaphram
Discussion
As per the title really, went from running 20+ miles to struggling to run 1. Been to see a consultant and have done the usual scans and tests etc , have some lung disease on top and very poor results for final third exhalation. Got a steroid puffer and a ventalin puffer to use.
Anyone got this or know anyone who has ? The diagnosis so far seems to be , live with it and in 50% of cases you'll heal after 2 years ...

I'm not sure if it's the same thing, but on a similar line I have a thread running here
While I can't offer any useful advice or experience, you have my utmost sympathy.
Had the lung function test today and (while I've not had the actual results yet, need to wait to see the GP) the nurse was distinctly unimpressed with my volume/capacity. No significant change after the ventalin either.
The odd thing though is my running has been mostly unaffected, other than not feeling like getting out to train much when it's particularly affecting me.
