It depends: on more information and examining particular patient. Generally propofol is safe in a well controlled asthmatics, yet anesthesia plan is formulated by anesthesiologist after careful consideration of past medical and surgical history, current medications, allergies and the nature of the procedure, as well as patient's physical status. Consult your doctor or consider "virtual" appt on HealthTap

Probably: Whenever an asthmatic is to undergo a procedure requiring anesthesia, the anesthesiologist must be made aware of asthma or COPD or any other pulmonary condition. More than likely, there should be no problems. Good Luck
