Is this anxiety?

For the past 6 years, I have had a problem with going down escalators. I cannot get onto it at all. If I try to get onto it, my heart starts racing, and I break out into a sweat and cannot get onto it. I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know what has changed to bring this about. Before 6 years ago, I had no problem whatsoever with escalators, in fact frequently I would be running down them at airports and so forth. This is making my life very difficult and my friends and co-workers are beginning to wonder about me since I go out of my way to avoid going down escalators. There is no problem going up an escalator.
Please help!
