Mask: Does the mask have an internal metal nose bridge? Is the mask overly tight? Do all symptoms dissipated once mask is removed? There are a number of different mask designs. Would suggest trying different style to see if that alleviates pressure. I have been experimenting with making different variations on mask designs & it can make a big difference.
