One of my coworkers, who is a staunch supporter for wearing face masks to protect against coronavirus, wears an N95 the entire time he's in the office. Yesterday he claimed he's having chest discomfort (which is what some people will feel when they wear N95 24x7 awake) and went to a hospital to demand a test for coronavirus infection. Needless to say his request got declined and he's doing just fine but I am simply speechless at the irony.

Nocebo effect?

If you are thinking about coronavirus, you are more likely to feel the symptoms of a coronavirus infection, or what you think are the symptoms.

Paranoia is more like it. N95 masks make it harder to breathe, which can lead to mild chest pain.
