I would have your wife see an ENT doctor; if the pain is so bad it may be more than simple pressure problem.
Does she also have sinus problems? sinus/facial pain? does she have allergies?

We're not aware of any sinus problems, but my wife does have hay fever type allergies. Thanks for the tips........she's got an ENT appointment in about a week.
