Hi,thank you for your query to HCM.As your daughter is making weird breathing noises and the typical breathing you described may be related to ENT causes and it is better to consult an ENT specialist for correct diagnosis and if it is excluded you have to consult a Pediatrician for diagnosis and further management.
