I HATE that sufficating feeling. When I started on CPAP (only 6 weeks ago) I had it set for "ramping" or whatever the features is called where it starts slow and gets stronger. I've come to really dislike that because the low initial pressure (6 in my case) is really too low, especially if I'm wide awake and self-concious of my breathing. It does feel like I was sufficating ! yuck.
Now with 0 ramping it only takes the machine a few seconds to detect my breating and start to move up to a decent presure which is more comfortable.
