Hello,
Since you are sneezing adjust the pressure setting to 4 or 5 & slowly increase by 0.5 & set it at a point you are most comfortable. Sometimes, wrong pressure setting of CPAP mask may cause headache or cold. If you have a history of sinus or any type of ear infection avoid using CPAP machine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care. All the best.
