I know masks don't lower oxygen capacity in healthy pep, but can masks effect oxygen if your hemoglobin is around 5.2 (52)? i feel i can't breath enough with it on. yes ik my hb is v low, & no it's not an incorrect number?

Masks do not filter out oxygen from the air. They are designed to filter out dust and microorganisms. Your breathing should not be affected by a mask.

If you hemoglobin is as low as 5.2, you ought to see a doctor at the earliest to get it treated. Mask in an irrelevant issue give your marked anemia.
