Hi welcome to HCM.
Your child is making deep breathing movements for 4 hours after coming from school, one common reason could be that she is worried about something which might have happened in school. Other thing could be that she has some muscular pain at chest region.
I advice you to take the child to doctor during the episode if she has it again so that proper check up should be done.
I hope this has helped you. Take care.
