New to cpap

I have been trying to use a FlexiFit full face mask for three weeks. I wake up "smothering" and gagging. Will this EVER get better? I'm about to just give up. I need a full face mask because of nasal congestion and this is the second one I've tried with no success. Any suggestions? Thanks!!
