Can wearing an n99 and a surgical mask at the same time for a couple of hours cause hypoxia ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but: Typically, wearing masks does not lead to hypoxia, but is some asthmatics, or,those with respiratory problems, anything that interferes with air flow can lead to drops in oxygenation, even hypoxia. If that does not answer your question, please write again, and be m0re specific.
