This one is easy to check for yourselves.

Get yourself a cheap Pulse Oxymeter from your local pharmacy. ($15-$30+)

Put it on your finger and check your blood oxygen level.

Now put on your favorite mask, and just breath for a while.

Note your Oxy level after 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes.

15 minutes walking in a store with a common procedure mask brought my Dad to tunnel vision level with sweating and tremmors.
Now when he's forced to wear one, we have the kind with exhalation valves, to reduce CO2 re-breathing. It's better, but his blood oxy level still drops a few percent while masked.

I put a string of Mask Memes in LJ's 2020 MemeWar Thread, here:

15 minutes walking in a store with a common procedure mask brought my Dad to tunnel vision level with sweating and tremors.

An hour of wearing a similar mask in a doctor's office took my 86-year-old mother-in-law's blood pressure from 112 to over 200.
