I've had trouble jogging and running and get exhausted (like very) easily, what can I do?

The problem started a very long time ago in elementary school when I was diagnosed with a very mild case of Bronchitis. I thought nothing of it and took some special medicine the doctor gave. It seemed like whatever it was just flew over all said and done. Suddenly, during a regular running test in PE, I felt so tired so quickly all of a sudden. Ever since then I couldn't do things like soccer without having to stop and gasp for breath. Do you know that feeling when you run really hard really far and your saliva changes taste, that's what it felt like. After a few years I even went to the doctor about it and he sent me to a hospital to test my lungs. They found that they breathed perfectly healthy like anyone else, but they never tested my lungs after physical stress. Now I am 18 and more than anything else I want to be able to jog and hike and play sports like anyone else again, what might be wrong?
