I’ve noticed anxiety at times that makes me think my oxygen level has decreased and have to calm down. I’ve never had anxiety before until all of this.

Would the results be different over a longer period of time?

She wore mask literally all day, and took off for the video and then placed back and stayed on and the results were the same

[@NucerityTexas]

Now take the test while she is being active with mask on and mask off and see what the difference is

Great video!

Hold’s no bearing on the individual sensation felt by different people. Even my nursing book says that the mask can cause a person to feel as though they are suffocating. We’re not going to pretend wearing a mask all day is a natural thing. People’s desire to be free of one and distaste for it is normal. People should really mind their own business.

Hello, No one is saying that wearing a mask all day is a "natural thing." What I am saying is that your pulse-ox does not decrease when wearing a mask. However, if you choose to not wear a mask during a Pandemic that is your choice. Thanks, Dr. David

DrRegisteredNurse my comment was to the individual that said people just complain for no reason. I honestly have not found any science to support the use of masks for healthy individuals. All the evidence I’ve seen has been circumstantial and based around unlikely hypothetical situations. Considering all the politics surrounding this, it should be pretty understandable why I have my doubts. However, I do still wear a mask wherever necessary. Doesn’t change my feelings on the subject. Take care

DrRegisteredNurse take the test while being active mask on and mask off. Would love to see if anything changes

While wearing a mask specialy 2-3hrs when like doing adl’s care you started to have SOB you have to run to a corner to get some deep breathe.?

[@DrRegisteredNurse]

How about those that perform cardia surgery or trauma surgery? They have the mask on for hours while working hard to save someone’s life. So no, your oxygen stays the same.

It’s not going to change in 2 minutes.

[@DrRegisteredNurse]

Hi Kim, it actually does. Just like when someone’s pulse-ox drops when they are in need of 1-2 liters of Oxygen wand you see the oxygenation go down..like in the post-operative environment. Thanks, Dr. David 💕

People just don’t want to wear the mask so they find an excuse. It’s a foreign object so of course it’s annoying.
