The air hunger feeling could also be anxiety and panic attacks (which yes can wake you up at night).
I would talk to your doctor about getting some lung function tests to see if it's lung based or not and then talk about the possibility of anxiety related issues - VERY common for young adults.

It could be asthma. Try taking Benadryl, an over-the-counter anti-histamine. If it relieves your symptoms you have an instant diagnosis.
