Mask and walking cycling
Dear Doctor
Does wearing a mask and cycling or walking fast causes lung infection or lung problems or is it good for lungs to be considered an exercise since we have to put more effort to breathe when wearing mask??

Wearing a mask and doing heavy exercises is not advisable. Mask will prevent infections.
