I was getting a bit stressed about having to wear a mask as it does aggravate my asthma. I decided to wear a face shield and find it much more comfortable. Nobody has ever said anything to me and I have never been questioned as to why I don't wear a mask. I know that some of us are exempt from wearing masks, however, I do feel safer wearing a face shield. If it helps you can order them from Amazon. Stay safe everyone :-)

I had an appointment at local main hospital and was told I had to wear a mask if I had Asthma. Wouldn't even let me wear a Visor. I started chocking wearing it so couldnt then they let me wear a Visor.

Hi, do any other asthma suffers have problems wearing masks like I do, I always have problems breathing wearing masks.
