Depends: If you are 19 years old and have no medical conditions and you are taking no medications there is very low likelihood of serious condition. If you have recently been sick with a respiratory infection, use oral contraceptives or recently traveled distance by plane or car it may be related to that. If symptoms are persisting be seen by a medical provider today to have exam and testing as needed.
