Dekho, bhai/behen, asthma hai toh doctor se puchna hi padega. Yeh sab cheezein bina proper advise ke mat karna. Apne doc ko sab batao, wohi sahi guidance denge.

I can't give medical advice, but I know someone with asthma who always has to check with their doctor before any procedure or strong medication. It's really important to disclose everything to your doctor, just to be safe.

Honestly, I had to be super careful with meds because of my asthma. My doctor always reviewed everything. Never take anything new without discussing it thoroughly with your pulmonologist first, especially something like ketamine.

My doctor always stresses on telling them all my existing conditions before any new medication. Asthma is serious, please ensure your doctor knows everything and follow their guidance completely. Don't risk it, always cross-check.

Oh, this makes me anxious! Is it common for asthmatics to have to be so careful with all medications? I get scared thinking about potential side effects. Always best to ask the actual doc, right?
