6 year old with heavy breathing

6 year old with heavy breathing

My 6 year old daughter has been having a breathing issue for about 4 months now.  When she is sitting still (either watching tv or trying to go to sleep) she has a hard time breathing.  She takes deep breaths over and over.  I have tried to watch her and see if she is holding her breath in between these gigantic breaths she is taking, but have been unable to say with certainty that she is.  It looks like she is, but I am trying not to draw attention to it until I know what could be wrong.  What could cause her to have the issue only when she is inactive?
