Summary
A person reported a symptom since March 2020, which they thought came from the diaphragm rather than the lungs. They could breathe a little better with their arms overhead or lying on their left side. Symptoms improved after the vaccine but not completely; by June 2021 they still had flares during hormonal shifts, though less severe.
