You may just be a little unfit, I never exercise so my body isn't used to it. When I walk up a few flights of stairs I feel the strain a bit.
You should see the doctor for some tests really as the last thing you want to do is to believe its not asthma and have an attack and have no melds or warning cards.

Gasping for breath
Patients suffering from asthma appear to be gasping for breath. Actually, they have more difficulty in breathing out than breathing in, and this is caused by spasms or sudden involuntary muscular contractions of the smaller air passages in the lungs Asthma Symptoms, Causes, Remedy and Diet

It could be asthma or it could be anything. However the symptoms you have described, are the symptoms of asthma. I would recommend a priority visit to your doctor. Take notes of WHEN these symptoms occur and mention to him/her, as it will help them to diagnose you much better.
