Are you using the humidifier, and at what setting? Do you have a heated hose? What machine and mask are you using?

The lowest the CPAP will go is pressure of 4. Why not let us know what machine you are using and what mask. Knowing your pressure settings will also help. If the CPAP was hissing , you have a leak in the mask or hose. Sounds like you have a cold....I don't think its the CPAP.
