Are y'all having a hard time wearing mask?!

Question

The past week I've been super dizzy, that was without a mask, well last night I went grocery shopping and I had to stop in the aisle and lay down because I blacked out 😲 and then today I had to run an errand with my mom and after 10mins wearing my mask she had to sit me down because I was starting to pass out, us anyone else having these issues??? My doctor told me to take the mask off if I have that feeling but I had a lady chew me out because I had it pulled down... im so torn 😩

Answer

I wear one all day for my job and I have no issues. It took a week to get used too. If you can get the surgical masks vs the cloth they’re easier to breath in.

Answer

I’ve had a horrible time wearing masks when I’m forced to wear one.  My head hurts, I feel dizzy and nauseous, and extremely tired.  And who knows what effect it may have on a growing fetus. 
Never have we ever quarantined healthy people, or forced them to disturb the oxygen they need to survive by covering our faces... I wish people would stop watching main stream media.  Any virus has the potential to cause death - the focus here should be on building and maintaining a healthy immune system, not social distancing and self isolating.  The world didn’t need to shut down. 
Anyone paying attention to all the elite child sex trafficking rings that have been taken down around the globe lately ?!?! That’s much more of a concern to me.

Answer

I've work them for hours at a time, pregnant, non pregnant, running around, wearing heavy led aprons, pushing gurneys, doing CPR, etc. I think a lot of the issues people are having are psychological. If there were truly a physiological reason extended mask use caused these symptoms, every provider doing surgeries that take hours on end would be passing out every day. Just because it's in your mind, doesn't make it not real, panic and anxiety are very scary to experience, you can absolutely pass out from a panic attack. 
If you absolutely can't tolerate it, you should be practicing social distancing and making sure you're washing your hands and sanitizing surfaces in your home. You should be avoiding going out if possible, groceries can get delivered and many shops do curb side pickup.

Answer

I have this exact same problem. I try my very best to avoid being in public so I don’t have to wear them but when I do, I HAVE to take breaks and inhale outside of the mask. I try to exhale in the mask still.

Answer

My dr actually gave me a drs note saying to not wear more than 20 minutes due to the oxygen levels dropping

Answer

I haven’t had an issue but you should buy a face shield from amazon as an alternative

Answer

I wear them 40 hours a week so I am pretty used to it. Surgical masks are way easier to use. That or avoid going in stores! I do all my grocery shopping online right now (mostly because I have severe morning sickness and can't even look at food). Good luck mama!

Answer

I’m a server and have to wear a mask and yes! I was having these problems too! It was getting bad for me! However I stopped using washable/ Cotten masks and started using the reusable masks (they’re thinner and way more loose) it helped me a lot!

Answer

Yes I hate it! But I understand the importance of them for my safety as well as the people around me. So if I can’t stomach it that day I stay home. I am lucky not to be working right now though

Answer

I am a teacher and when we go back end of aug we have to wear them all day. I'm worried. I feel like I can barely breath normally. I wonder if it's in my head sometimes. I've never felt like I was going to pass out though. But I definitely find the surgical medical ones are better. Do you have to wear them for work?
