HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
This is a form of social phobia.
Treatment would involve both medication and counselling if possible.
Counselling would involve using relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, muscle relaxation and using images in your mind to relax you (can use any images or memories that are relaxing).
These techniques can be reviewed on line.
Medications can be used to help reduce your anxiety as well if needed.
I hope this helps
