Call DAN (Divers Alert Network). They are the experts and can put you in touch with a local physician that can evaluate your condition.

Yes, there are recommendations. You are placing yourself in great danger from lung overexpansion injury, and increased risk of DCI. If you have a long history of these conditions, there is likely to be damage and scar tissue in your lungs. Only you and your physician can decide, but I would think that it's too great of a risk. You could be placing your dive buddy at risk as well.
