Suffocation in n95 mask
Hi,
When i wear n95 mask and go in some closed places like shopping mall or grocery store, sometimes i started feeling that i am doing heavy breathing. I need to loosen my mask for sometime. I am allergic to weather change. I did my 6 minute walking test many times and my oxygen saturation is always 98%. Is it normal? If 98% oxygen saturation, do i need to worry about my lungs?
Thanks
