They are controlled by and follow your own breathing initiatives. What you describe is impossible and the answer to what actually happened can likely be visualized by looking closely at the flow rate (respiration) and mask pressure (device pressure) charts and seeing what happened. Most cases of what you describe have resulted from anxiety resulting from a positional apnea, and can be resolved by calmly realizing you can breathe and reset  yourself and the device with a purposeful breath.  This will result in an arousal, but the feeling of being choked is due to an adrenaline rush or a panic reaction.  Keep in mind that 10 cm-H2O is only 0.14 psi. That cannot stop your breathing or choke you.  For perspective, the atmospheric pressure at sea level is  14.696 psi (760 mm Hg).
