Do you feel it?: Do you feel like you are "rushing to breath" or "struggling to breath"? if you don't, I wouldn't worry. Maybe your cousin is too sensitive. If you have a "noisy" breathing and it bothers you, maybe you can have a doctor examine your nose and throat. If this is not bothering you, I wouldn't worry.
