MEPS Physical (asthma) Question

So I realize there are already a lot of "inhaler" questions out there, but I've just got one more. I used an inhaler once, when I was coming up short of breath while running suicides for high school b-ball.

I am not going for an aviation track, and I'm hoping to do MEPS in a couple of weeks. Should I try and contact my old doctor now in order to avoid delay, or is it not as big a deal if you used an inhaler and you are NOT applying for an aviation-related career?

Thanks.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but the armed forces as a whole do not seem to like inhalers or asthma past a certain age (13?). It's not an aviation-specific exclusion.


It's one of the first things they will ask you at MEPS.
