Difficulty Using C-pap Machine For Sleep Apnea Due To Constantly Blocked Nose. Suggest Any Breathing Technique

I have sleep apnea and require a c-pap machine. However, it is difficult for it to be successful because my nose is constantly stopped up. 4 weeks ago I had a sinus infection that caused both nostrils to be obstructed, but every night for the past 3 months- Ive had at least one side or the other stopped up. Ive tried just about everything on the market. Is there any type of breathing exercise or technics I can do to help?
