Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of excessive sneezing on using the mask used for sleep study.
The cause of excessive sneezing is very obvious, it is the allergen in the mask or the tubing or the machine that is not suitable for your nose.
I would advise you to use the fluticasone nasal stray, oral antihistamine and steroids if required.
You will be fine hence stop worrying.
