You are 18. You had asthma until you were 13. That means you had asthma in the last 5 years.
If you look at the following link you will see the significace of the 5-year test:

I have chosen 2 extracts:
(1) Candidates with a current or past history of asthma are to be made permanently unfit for aircrew duties.
and
(2) Have you had any asthmatic symptoms including nocturnal cough or exercise-induced wheezing in the past 5 years or since the age of 16 years?
(3) Have you used any inhaler (continuously or intermittently) for control of asthma or wheeze for a period > 8 weeks in the 5 years before application?
(4) Have you required oral steroids for asthma or wheeze since the age of 5 yrs?
So without more information these are stoppers for both air and ground branches.
