I am recently suffering from a similar ailment. I have been suspected of having GERDS, then Crohn's for quite some time, and I have been diagnosed with Asthma. I started with suffering from sour stomach and severe pains in my left side. All of a sudden, I developed a respiratory infection, and my pain moved to the right side, starting at my ribs, moving around my body. It became so severe I could not stand up. Suddenly, I was rushed to the hospital. After a huge ambulance and emergency room bill, and an ultrasound of my gall bladder, kidneys, liver, etc, I was released with pain killers and a big question mark. My primary care doctor who is wonderful ordered an X-Ray. He walked into the room just baffled by the results. My right diaphragm was very high. Apparently, my diaphragm is only able to fill with air on the left, and the right one is incapable. Luckily, the gastroenterologist, primary care, and rheumatologist are communicating regularly. After researching the issue, it makes sense why I've always had awful breathing problems the asthma steroids could never help. It looks like it may be a hernia, either congenital, or acquired when I had a traumatic fall at 6.
