I've had an x-ray done today, and it shows that my diaphragm is a bit elevated. I dont have a cough, but I'm feeling some chest pain on the right side when I take a deep breath. I'm a bit worried and am wondering what could be causing this. I don't smoke and I've never had asthma. Do you think this pain will go away on its own? What other issues could this possibly be?

I'd love to know what my options might be so that I can consider getting treatment and avoid issues like this in the future.

You may want to consult a pulmonologist or a specialist to explore options for presenting your case in a way that addresses the medical concerns.
