Hello
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The problem you are having sweating, palpitations weakness etc is anxiety. This is happening in public meeting, in meeting with new people, in presenting seminars, in replying to questions etc. This is nothing but Social Anxiety Disorder. It is a common disorder and treatment is needed by a trained Psychiatrist.
Medicines like Beta Blockers as Propranolol are very effective in this disorder. Other medicines like SSRI as Fluoxetine, Paroxetine etc or SNRI as Venlafexine etc are also used.
so visit a good Psychiatrist for opinion.
Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for posting a query in health care magic.
From the description that you have stated it appears that you have some sort of anxiety disorder called panic disorder. No need to panic at this stage. You should visit a psychiatrist you can evaluate you once in detail with a proper mental state examination. then he/she may start you with some cognitive behavioral therapy sessions and also start you on some anti-anxiety drugs. Propranolol and clonazepam are good drugs to reduce the anxiety symptoms. You may be also started on paroxetine, venlafaxine, fluoxetine and so on. No need to worry as it is very common and is treatable.
Hope I am able to solve your concerns.

Hi,

Thanks for the query.
I would suggest you firstly to avoid stress and over work load.Because it sometimes happens due to psyco somatic disorder ,that means mind is so very hyper state that it starts effecting physical well being,
Secondly i would suggest you to go for complete blood test,blood pressure measuremnet and lipid profile to find any underlying abnormality .
Hoping Good luck for your health.
Fell free for further queries.
