No Cough, No Fever, No Flu but Shortage of Air

When I wear a mask, I will feel shortage of air to breathe. Is that means I wear wrongly or I am infected with Corona?

Hi!

Thank you for your question. I understand that you are worried about the risk of COVID-19 infection. According to WHO, the common symptoms of COVID-19 infection are:

  • Fever (more than 37.5 degrees celcius)
  • Fatigue
  • Cough
  • Aches and pains
  • Sorethroat
  • Headaches
  • Shortness of breath
    t.

For your information, it is uncomfortable to wear mask and sometimes people may complain of similar problem as yours. Therefore, you should not worry about it

You may consult a MOH doctor by clicking Ask Doctor at the Ministry of Health website (COVID-19 Portal) to ask any health issues related to COVID-19 starting from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm.

After 5.00 pm till 12.00 am, please direct your enquiries to our DoctorOnCall website at this link https://www.doctoroncall.com.my/tanya/.

Do you know that your immune system plays role in the effectiveness of vaccines?
