Anxiety and discomfort associated with masks

Feeling blockage and pressure by the mask was uncomfortable.

The contact with the mask was painful.

I avoided moving because I was worried that the mask would be displaced.

I wondered if air was leaking.

Discomfort associated with air pressure

Feeling my mouth dry due to the strong wind pressure was uncomfortable.

The NPPV exerts strong wind pressure and made me feel uncomfortable.

Insomnia with anxiety or discomfort

I could not sleep because of anxiety or discomfort caused by the mask and wind pressure.

Because the mask worried me and I had difficulty moving, my sleep was fragmented.
