Hi,

I understand your condition, it's typical social anxiety. A lot of people suffer from it. To a certain level this may be a normal phenomenon, however, if it's too much, it may need mending.

There are a number of ways to tackle it. You should do meditation, and in such a situation take deep breathing to avoid the panic. You need to tackle it by more and more exposure to such things as trying to get more and more exposed to people, getting more and more on the stage.

Many time you would be improving with time and you may not need any medicine. These are social phobias and mostly do not need drugs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman, General & Family Physician
