Although this could be related to anxiety, it honestly sounds like something else is going on. A common cause of this kind of breathlessness is iron deficiency, so if you feel like you have other symptoms of that I would def talk to your doctor!
I agree with goblin49. Years ago I thought it was my weight or stress/anxiety or I was just out of shape. I didn't see a Dr for almost a year. It got worse. It was happening not only on stairs, but walking across campus for classes. Turns out I have anemia (iron deficiency) and asthma.
I get that with anxiety like going up the steps to a doctor appointment or something like that I’m totally out of breath at the top sometimes from it. But don’t get that way going up the stairs at home
I don’t have an iron deficiency or asthma as stated above but if yours is happening every single time you walk up stairs then you may want to get that checked out

Is it normal to go up the stairs and feel breathless for a couple of minutes or is that my anxiety???
