The website links below might answer your questions. Doctor’s aren’t gods (that’s why they call it practicing medicine LOL) but you should consult your doctor about it but bring the information from the sites with you. If your doctor has any questions he can contact DAN (Diver’s Alert Network) which is staffed by doctors and medical personnel versed in dive medicine. "For non-emergency medical questions, you can talk to a DAN Medic by calling +1-919-684-2948 (Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm EST). If you prefer to submit your question via e-mail, you can send it directly to a DAN Medic" at the following
