Nasal tip depression while talking. Why is this happening, and how can it be corrected?

SavannahCat
I notice a couple of days ago that when protruding my lips as to pronounce the U sound, the tip of my nose depresses and points down. It looks as if I'm pressing down on my nose. I had never noticed that before and am a little worried as to why this is happening. When I pull my upper lip with my hands, this doesn't happen, so I'm thinking it's a muscle connection that pulls inside the nose. What's the reason and how an this be corrected?
