Those without respiratory issues don't have oxygenation issues while wearing masks.

The same air is going into your lungs, the only difference is your diaphragm has to work harder due to the filtering effect of the mask. If it can't manage that, then you are likely already on oxygen due to low tidal volume and chronic hypoxia.

You can buy a pulse oximeter from CVS for like $20 and test this yourself if you don't believe me.
