Brief Answer:
Performance Anxiety Disorder most likely
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I understand your query and concern.
Your symptoms are most probably related to anxiety related stress disorder/performance anxiety disorder.
You will respond most likely to group of drugs called anxiolytics like Clonazepam and beta blockers like Propananlol.
These drugs when used for 3-6 months will cause excellent resolution of symptoms. I feel that the doctor would have prescribed you the same medications.
Yoga postures particularly pranayam, brahmaasana and vajraasana are helpful to relieve stress. Consult an expert Power yoga specialist.
Thank you.
