Sharpy i have a woma that is a year old and i recently went through some issues with mine that was also displaying these such problems. I have posted the full story with the history of events but here is the end result after much conversing with some really experienced reptile people. Womas do sneeze and gurgle if they are going into shed, this due to the oils they produce in the lead up, (It's not a hiss). If the temps are not warm enough your snake could have a cold, i keep my woma at 35'c warm end and 26-27'c cool end. Or it could be a respitory disease this will be evident if it is prolonged and lasts for period of days. If the snake is going into shed don't increase the humidity as womas don't require high humidty to shed, if it is a cold just up your temps by 1.5-2'c and if the sneezing is prolonged perhaps you could see a vet. Read my story as i hope it can assist you, our big fella is now feeding well, womas are very unique they are great snakes i have found from my experience that they are however a bit different to keep. People are forever saying they are great beginer snakes but compared to my antaresia's i have found this guy a bit challenging to get right. He is now feeding well and settling in, good luck and let us know how you get on with her.
