Maybe: Gasping or stridor in an otherwise happy kid can signify an abnormality in the airway. These can often be discovered as the kid grows older & more active. The cause can vary from congenital defects to acquired illness. Sometimes a heart vessel that lays over the airway can pinch the airway some. I would pursue the matter with some specific x-ray studies.
