Experiencing Rapid Heartbeat, Shaky Voice And Sweating. Feeling Better After Deep Breath. Reason?
I often experience rapid heartbeat , shaky voice, and sweating when I talk to people I don t really know. Then sometimes it gets worse when I am in class (university). I have one class that is very small with only 5-8 people in it, and I get nervous to talk, but I force myself to, but when I do, sometimes it feels like I don t have enough air, or my throat gets smaller while I speak and my hands shake. Do you know of anything I can do to calm myself while doing this? I ve tried deep breathing and it helps a little, but not really that much at all.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
These symptoms are highly suggestive of Anxiety.
Psychiatric assessment and assistance are needed.
Before that, see an Internist or cardiologist / Get examined, have EKG and basic blood tests - to rule out common physical problems.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
