this has been happening for about a week now
only one discus is staying near the waters surface, facing upright and breathing semi-rapidly for most of the day
no sign of gill problems & it does ocassionly come down to eat
the others seem fine ?

one might be more stressed than the others then the flukes stick in. Have you noticed the others flicking?
