during inspiration, what direction does the left side of the diaphragm move if the phrenic nerve was paralyzed

I think you mean illumination. Inspiration is quite a thing apart and almost never seen.

As one inhales air, the pressure inside the chest decreases. This is because the diaphragm lowers during inspiration and increases the volume of the chest. Lower pressure in the chest means that blood can more easily return to the chest (and therefore the heart). Therefore, during inspiration (or inhalation) there is increased venous return (blood coming back to the heart).

to the left hand side

since you said "IF",  I think somewhere around the middle gravity will reverse on you and you will have to turn your body around so that you can come up on the other side head first.

a pinched nerve perhaps?

When your torso (chest, abdomen) receives significant force by a blow (fist, toso hitting the ground after a fall, etc), the reflex reaction is for the muscles of the torso to tense up.  This includes your abdominal muscles, muscles between your ribs (intercostals), neck, etc.  This forces the air out, and your diaphram can not overcome these muscles to inflate the lungs (when your diaphragm contracts, it causes the lungs to fill with air).  So for the second or two that you're torso muscles are in "spasm", you can't take in a breath.  They spasm as a reflex, that mother nature has built in to protect from another forceful blow that could damage your internal organs.

If the stroke is on the left side of the brain, then it will be the opposite side that is effected..(ie the right).

The diaphragm is innervated by the phrenic nerve arising from the nerve roots of cervical vertebrae C3, C4, and C5.\nThe costal (outer) margins are also innervated by nerves from thoracic vertebrae T6-T11.

The right side of the heart is for pulmonary circulation. this is to take blood from the tissues rich in co2 and lower in Oxygen and circulate it thru the lungs. In the lungs the co2 is dumped off and a fresh load of oxygen is picked up by the hemoglobin in the red blood cell. The left side of the heart now gets this fresh blood and the left ventricle pumps blood thru the body but not the lungs. the right ventricle pumps blood thru the lungs.

I have noticed this also, and it is only his posture that has developed this way. He had a slight paralysis on his left side and has broken his neck by running into the net post head first but I do not think this contributes to the unusual posture...

Gait problems caused by paralysis of one side right or left of the body.  Usually from stroke.

Lay on your left side. Now press yourself up onto your left elbow keeping the elbow in line with the shoulder. Place your right hand by your right ear. Widen your feet so your right leg is a little bit infront of you left leg. Pick up your hips keeping the body is a straight line. Exhale as you twist the right elbow towards the floor while sucking the belly button into the spine. Inhale and untwist. Repeat 12-15 times and switch sides.

Laughter is in part generated from the diaphragm.  The diaphragm expansion and contraction would in turn exert pressure on your bladder.

Yes!! When you get a side stitch a good breathing technique is to exhale firmly when the foot that the side stitch is on hits the ground. \n\nAfter a couple of breaths it should go away. I'm not sure if it's mental or physiological but it works.

Ipsilateral in layman's term means 'same side'. I'm assuming you know what paralysis means. When there is a problem/lesion (upon investigation) on one side of the brain or nerve (e.g. right side), rendering a person paralysed on his right body part, it means, the person is affected on the same side of his lesion = Ipsilateral.\n\n Lesion on right/left side of brain/ nerve = Paralysis on right/left side of body = Ipsilateral Paralysis.\n\np/s: When a paralysis occurs on the opposite side (e.g left) of his lesion (e.g right), it is known as 'Contralateral' Paralysis.

The diaphragm almost always works perfectly. When you inhale, it pulls down to help pull air into the lungs. When you exhale, it pushes up to help push air out of the lungs. But sometimes the diaphragm becomes irritated. When this happens, it pulls down in a jerky way, which makes you suck air into your throat suddenly. When the air rushing in hits your voice box, you're left with a big hiccup.
