I have a suspicion that this is exactly the type of question a doctor would be able to answer, which is why GP suggested you should reach out to one.
It is widely known that medical questions can only answered by MDs. Legal questions only by lawyers. Philosophical questions only by philosophers. Basically no questions should be asked or answered in a forum, as they will always be inferior to what The Experts™ say. Also every question can only be asked and answered once, so its either forum or expert.
