This is my EXACT problem in the hot/humid weather: Wearing a mask causes me to hyperventilate.
It ACTUALLY CAUSES ME RESPIRATORY DISTRESS!
It causes my o2 sat to drop, my heart and resp rates to increase, changes my blood pressure, triggers an anxiety response, and a whole ton of shit.
They'll still demand I wear a mask to assuage THEIR fears over a made up nothingburger virus and claim I'm trying to harm them to rationalize and justify this! Fuck that.
Thanks, man. To be honest, controlling my emotions regarding these people "who are only doing their jobs" and using the minimum wage excuse simply refuse to take my pulmonary issues seriously is hard, sometimes - I really have wanted to smack at least two.. Luckily when I was a kid I learned to use calming/breathing exercises to "regain control of the runaway resp trains" but there have been rare situations where I can't mind-over-matter the shit and needed a rescue inhaler, which I acutally don't have (didn't need it for years, until I did again).
"JuSt GET AnOtHeR oNe"
Actually I don't run to the Doctor for every scrape/bruise, and don't trust ANY of them one bit since any of this shit started. I lost my family Doctor recently, too ( just glad that I was lucky to have one for so long!) and I'm not stepping foot into one of those dirty clinics, gross.
The ER will treat me if I'm facing a true life-threatening situation, and I'm holding off on going to hospitals/doctors/offices as much as I can during this bullshit, chances are that's my highest vector to actually catch something dangerous!
You can't win with these people.
SPEZ: Do you think I can remove the valve from an N95 mask to give me the airflow I need while appearing "compliant" to stupid normies? I've never used an N95, but this would solve my issue mostly.
I saw a picture of someone down in 'Merica that was wearing a bug net over their face. Those are easier to breath through and technically cover your face.
I want to just appear to be compliant on a shallow/surface level, that'll make me stand out. Thanks for the idea, though. I want to just blend in. It's security theatre in the end, right?
