HEALTH RISK: How Possible Is It For Asthma Patients To Cope With Face Mask by Yungmil: 10:42pm On May 06, 2020
Could this be a possible health hazard. Asthma patient need constant fresh air for healthy living and survival.

Someone said an Asthma patient had difficulty breathing today, while wearing the compulsory facemask as necessity for going out this period.

Guys what do you think on how Asthma patients can cope with facemask.

Mods please do the needful

Wearing a mask ought to help with your asthma, not inflame it since the mask reduces the number of foreign particles that reach your nose(assuming a good mask too).

Well, considering I am a diagnosed Asthma patient who has over the years suffered some terrible attacks, I would say I know very well about Asthma.

Also, that I wear a mask for at least 11 hours of each work day, I am sure I also know what it means to wear a mask as an Asthma sufferer.

If you have anxiety about not getting enough oxygen and what not while wearing a mask, I suggest you tell your doctor so he can put you on some anti-seizure med to help you cope with that issue.
