As a general rule, please ask a doctor before you ask the internet.
Why that order? Why not the other way around?
With a doctor you are likelier to get someone who actually knows what they're talking about. On the internet you can never be sure.
Well... I think the general rule is to ask your doctor before doing something that's different to what everyone else is doing. I think asking the internet is fine iff you ask the doctor before effecting a plan.
(Unless you have personal expertise or otherwise a well-evidenced model about why your doctor is inaccurate in this particular situation)
