Brief Answer:
Possibility of asthma is more likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Since your age is 21 years, asthma can be the cause.
Another possibility is allergic bronchitis, lung infection etc.
So get done chest x ray, PFT (Pulmonary Function Test), IgE level and CBC (complete blood count).
Any smoking habit?
Any wheezing sound from chest?
Any family history of allergy, asthma?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions so that I can guide you better.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
