Depends: At your age and in the absence of diabetes, the problem is more likely respiratory than cardiac. However exercise-induced breathing problem is more likely from asthma but vocal cord dysfunction needs be considered as well. Suggest you consult your doctor or an allergist.

See doc in person: Abdulla, there are many things that can cause the problem. Main concerns are heart or lung disease. Most likely thing in someone your age is asthma. But depending on your family and personal history there could be other issues. I recommend seeing a doctor in person, who can do a full history, examine your heart and lungs, and get any tests needed to clarify the diagnosis.
