Not quite that simple. The study states that it is PPE that caused the headaches. PPE also includes eyewear, goggles and other accessories. Pretty significant distinction. No mention of it being a mask that was the culprit. The was the only study pertinent to COVID 19 that was cited in the article.
You and the doc say that wearing a mask can be harmful, which I do not dispute. But there was no real comparison to the risk of not wearing a mask with a contagious virus. Without that comparison, the article if meaningless.
