[ { "answers": [ { "answer": "Even if a person is wearing an airtight medical grade mask, like an N95 or FFP2 mask, the risks of lethargy, headache, and dizziness are low, even after wearing one for several hours. For an average healthy person wearing a cloth or surgical mask, there is even less risk of these symptoms occurring, because they still allow oxygen to flow out of the mouth and nose freely.\n\nWhile it might feel like breathing is more difficult in a mask and you are not getting enough air, that is likely a response to stress or anxiety from wearing the mask and can usually be helped by focusing on normal breathing patterns. Shallow breathing, hyperventilation, and breath holding can cause increases in carbon dioxide which leads to headaches and nausea. These symptoms are generally not caused by the use of masks.", "answer_type": "Extractive", "boolean_explanation": null, "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20230403114647/https://health-desk.org/articles/does-wearing-a-mask-for-long-periods-of-time-affect-the-brain-causing-lethargy-headache-and-dizziness-because-of-lack-of-oxygen", "source_medium": "Web text", "source_url": "https://health-desk.org/articles/does-wearing-a-mask-for-long-periods-of-time-affect-the-brain-causing-lethargy-headache-and-dizziness-because-of-lack-of-oxygen" } ], "question": "Does prolonged Face Mask use leads to Oxygen deprivation ?" }, { "answers": [ { "answer": "Doctors typically refer to two distinct forms of oxygen deprivation: anoxic brain injuries occur when the brain is totally deprived of oxygen due to sudden cardiac arrest, choking, strangulation, and other sudden injuries. Hypoxic brain injuries occur when the brain receives less oxygen than it needs, but is not completely deprived of oxygen. Because the effects of the two injuries are similar, many brain experts use the terms interchangeably.\n\nA few seconds of oxygen deprivation won't cause lasting harm, so a child who holds his breath in frustration, a combatant choked unconscious during a Jiu-Jitsu match, and a diver who needs a few extra seconds to come up for air are unlikely to experience brain damage. The precise timeline of anoxic brain injuries depends on a number of personal idiosyncrasies, including overall brain and cardiovascular health, as well as the level of blood oxygenation at the time of injury. Generally speaking, injuries begin at the one-minute mark, steadily worsening thereafter.\nHow Long Can the Brain Go Without Oxygen? A Timeline\n\n Between 30-180 seconds of oxygen deprivation, you may lose consciousness.\n At the one-minute mark, brain cells begin dying.\n At three minutes, neurons suffer more extensive damage, and lasting brain damage becomes more likely.\n At five minutes, death becomes imminent.\n At 10 minutes, even if the brain remains alive, a coma and lasting brain damage are almost inevitable.\n At 15 minutes, survival becomes nearly impossible.\n\nThere are, of course, exceptions to every rule. Some training routines help the body make more efficient use of oxygen, enabling the brain to go longer periods without this vital element.
