I think it will depend on why your right diaphragm is raised if you can qualify physically to drive.  

Are you being referred to a Pulmonologist to sort this out?

Sorry, I have to agree with SassyLassie.  This needs to be SORTED out by a lung specialist; Pulmonologist.  I don't know what your situation will be in regards to work.
